- meowface 5y agoI was going to mention that, but I'm actually not 100% sure if it's the same thing. Maybe it is? Either way, I definitely occasionally experience hypnic jerks and sudden vertigo-ish feelings when I'm right on the edge of falling asleep.
- klipt 5y agoAlso a great name for a person who wakes you up just as you're trying to fall asleep. "You, you hypnic jerk!"
