Is a jerk accompanied by something happening in a dream? I have this every now and then, for example I start dreaming that I'm walking and then I suddenly trip on something which wakes me up. It also worsens if I'm already deprived of sleep. To me it feels like the longer I stay awake the more vivid my dreams are and they start earlier as I'm falling asleep. For me it's not really an inconvenience as it doesn't happen that often, but it's annoying as I have to fall asleep again.

No, I don't get far enough into sleep for that - it happens right at the point of dozing off. I know what your talking about and do occasionally get those kind as well. I will dream something like I'm walking down a sidewalk and suddenly the next step isn't there and I jerk awake. I usually get this if I fall asleep sitting vs laying, etc.
