Why You Sometimes Feel Like You're Falling And Jerk Awake When Trying To Fall Asleep
"You're drifting off to sleep, inching ever closer toward dreamland, when all of a sudden you sense danger. You feel yourself falling, try to catch yourself, and jerk abruptly awake.
What's going on? You've experienced a common sleep disturbance known as a hypnic jerk. (The same thing is sometimes called a hypnagogic jerk or a sleep start, and they don't always wake people up.)
"Nobody knows for sure what causes them," explains psychologist Tom Stafford at BBC Future, "but to me they represent the side effects of a hidden battle for control in the brain that happens each night on the cusp between wakefulness and dreams."
In other words, when the effects of sleep are just beginning to take over your body and brain, your waking self seems to creep back in unexpectedly sometimes, startling you awake. Boo...
What We Know About Hypnic Jerks...

Autumn had a baby? I'm so happy to hear this as the last one kind of hit me hard. I was in love with Autumn, her husband and Daisy the boy.
Autumn and baby are together right now. What a good mom she is!! Baby follows her around.
BBM Thank you. I had a good day with my son yesterday. I especially liked lunch because it gave us the opportunity to talk while we ate our lunch.
Here is another inblot (but Dr. Sigmund Y/N Freud will not analyze everyone's interpretations as she has retired to Italy. :facepalm: )

Cute as can be, either way!!! and happy to see that that this time there were no problems.
