Gear increases hypnic jerk?

[cftcft]

I thought I'd post my experience and see if anyone has had the same observation.

A hypnic jerk is perfectly harmless and normal thing that happens to many people. When you're falling asleep, you experience a falling sensation and your leg will twitch or jerk you awake. About 70% of people have experienced this at some time.

Anyway, this would happen to me rarely---maybe twice a year. However, since I've started my cycle, it's been happening to me about two or three times a week. I can't think of any variable that I've introduced other than the gear that would account for this. I'm thinking it has something to with increased muscle fatigue (if you read about hypnic jerk, you will see what I'm talking about).

I'm not worried about it and I know it's not a big deal, but just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this.

Could be due to the fact that youre training harder on cycle. It happens to me when i am really tired.

harder training causing muscle spasms is what i always thought.

No, that's different.. It's this odd feeling you get when dosing off.. either in bed, or on the couch watching tv, or whatever.. It either feels like your falling or I get like a shocked or buzzed feeling.
yes, I get it... It doesn't bother me much but my girl bitches about it. I guess I do it several times a night and it wakes her up.

punch her in the face, and blame it on the hypnic jerking

When I was in high school, my hips used to fricking jerk all the time during wrestling season. I wasn't the only guy on the team who had it, which makes me think it's from the extra fatigue on your muscles. It happens alot when I'm lying down. My hips will just twitch on their own.

I also get that "falling" feeling a couple of times a year. It usually happens to me in the middle of a dream, and my ass wakes up real quick.

I got that today... lol Im taking sust250. It also gives me some insomnia and doesnt let me get into "deep" sleep

I get this a lot even when Im not on gear. I usually get it when I really tired or taking day naps. Due to the surronding distractions it makes you sleep heavier and have these jerks due to the noises around wake you up etc.

Yep, exactly! ..and for the record, I don't think it's the gear. It's the same for me when off or running natty. I think for me it's more crappy sleep patterns, interrupted rest, uncomfortable, etc..

You guys ever have dreams where you wake up laughing? Last night I had a dream that was not all that funny but my laughing woke me up. I remember doing this before but its very rare.

Can't say that I've ever woke up laughing before...that sounds really weird to me
