- In this episode we talk about hypnic jerks and other sleep-wake transition disorders and find that the best strategy for reducing them are the same CBTi techniques used to treat insomnia.

I am finding so many of the things you discuss is exactly what is happening to me. It is nice to know that I am not alone in this insomnia journey.
When I was on the worst point of my insomnia anxiety, I had some nights where I had Hypnic Jerks NON STOP. And I really mean non stop. One night I would try to fall asleep and was awakened by terrible Hypnic Jerks for as long as 7 hours until I finally was tired enough that they disappeared. I was seriously concerned they would never go away and prevent me from sleeping forever. But I've discovered one thing about those jerks that is always true: they ALWAYS disappear when you're tired enough, so they are really just a stress symptom and nothing to worry about!
Thanks so much for sharing Lea!!
Vegan ASMR for me they still happen but I tell my self you will find the sleep sooner or later
Thanks for your comforting comment i went to psychiatrist just because i felt so anxious because of experiencing this!
So true! Once I do fall asleep, I don't think I have them anymore. In the morning, I'm able to fall back asleep without jerks too. Very weird and frustrating I have to say 😅 I thought I had a neurological problem before I found coach Daniel's channel.
Just wish I knew why this started for me, never had these jerks in the past and they keep me up all night...
Hi! So I have this shit really badly. And I can't take meds because I am chemical sensitive! I appreciate everything. I went a week without sleep because of this. A week. Hallucinations and everything. Finding I'm in this again. Thank you for the information. Thank you for helping everyone! I'm very scared. And I need to let go of it. But now that I have trauma around the bedroom, I immediately have palpations as soon as I get into bed.
Hi Emily, so sorry to hear about how difficult it’s been, but glad you found your way here. We have a playlist on jerks and Hypnic awareness, it’s in the description of any new video… and also insomnia insight 470 on palpitations may help. Hang in there and let us know how things go. Rooting for you
You just described my situation exactly, I went through about a month ago. Horrible, horrible feeling because you can not fall asleep because of the stupid hypnic jerks. Now they are gone, but you have to control your stress and anxiety or they will return.
So glad they’re gone.. and you know, I think in some odd way it’s actually when we no longer try to control them, or our emotions, that things get calmer 😊 Thanks for sharing and being here!
Thanks for sharing.
I'm relieved to hear that it can go away
Thank you (greatly) for your channel & information Daniel & also others commenting here.
I, myself have been PLAGUED by these hypnic jerks for the past near month & am BEYOND anxious & nerve shredded when nearing my bedtime that i'm drinking alcohol (not to get completely drunk) but to avoid this terrible experience altogether & manage to sleep without the jerks. I'm WELL aware this is NOT at all healthy, but i'm caught in the cycle of worrying, hence exacerbating the problem & lost on how to "employ the method" of losing the fear "going with it" as yet. I'm not dealing with this at all, but relieved to know more of what you've explained here & other's comments & feeling less alone with it.
You’re so so happy welcome, and you know, many of the success stories in the Success stories playlist (link in description of any new video) talk about these as well, that could help too I’m sure. Hang in there! Now that you understand and see you’re not alone, I’m sure it will get easier and easier!
Thank you for your channel. You helped so many people with your content. Its the best channel about sleep ive ever seen. I am myself a doctor and have hypnic jerks and twitches (they started after severe stress) that interfered with my sleep. Now im taking low dose pregabalin (150 mg daily) and they dissappeared. At the beginning of my insomnia they used to be up to 15 times, every time i tried to fall asleep it happened and sleep ceased. So i resortes to medications. Really, more jerks more insomnia, vicious cycle. Thats my story
Vitaly! So glad to read this 😊 really appreciate the support and very glad those jerks aren’t bothering you now. Be well and stay in touch now!
I had it for a few days except the last two nights. Seems like it reduced.
Step outside in daylight for 45 minutes or more. You can be under shade if its too sunny.
The other thing is, avoid/ignore the thought of the anticipation of not getting sleep. It gives anxiety and makes things bad.
Try and go to sleep like you did before the jerks started. And do it everyday.
It will reduce or even go away.
I've posted this comment on a few videos so more people can be at ease.
Hey daniel, after years of not having these anymore I had a pretty bad episode of them last night. What scares me is I was not under any particular amount of stress or anxiety, which is what initial brought them on in the past. Everything was normal and routine in my life, only thing I can think of is I did have a very busy and physically demanding day at work. I was eventually able to sleep but it took hours. I ended up going down the rabbit hole again and have read horror stories about people who have them permanently.
It's a huge relief to know that they will eventually go away. My big issue with sleep is hyperarousal (both jerks and hypnic awareness). I'm starting to realize no matter what supplement you take, they won't go away. I find magnesium helpful for me as a natural anti-anxiety supplement than what my doctor prescribed (a benzo). Since watching your videos on hypnic jerks and success stories, I have tried to remain calm about having them at night. However, it's still SO frustrating because Im thinking: wow I was going to fall asleep but my brain and body was like NOPE! So close 😅
Hey Laura! Thanks for staying in touch!
You know I think magnesium is way better than benzos for several reasons. One being, if something requires a prescription, it implies that it's "real". It's a real medication used for a real disorder. Something is really wrong inside you. That's a real problem thought!
If you take a mineral on the other hand it's like wellness. I'm well, just need a little bit of this mineral.
This said, you know, only thoughts can in reality change your emotions. This may at first sound disappointing, but imagine this - when you know how to work with your thoughts, you can change everything! Check out the playlist on "The model"!
Ok now onto those jerks. The most helpful tip I ever got was this - hypnic jerks are a normal sleep-wake transitional event. So look at them as a sign that you're falling asleep! A welcome sign that sleep is about to happen.
Hope this helps and stay in touch!

How are you today Laura?
@@lauralush23 how are you today Laura
I watched your video after your comment. It seems to be what I have at certain situations. But I have that, mostly when I'm anxious. It look alike a sort of sleep apnea before sleeping and some "unawanting outburst". Always surprise me, but makes me anxious when I have it. But.. I always fall asleep anyway at a moment. Hope to have a good sleep tonight because I have to wake up at 5 am and I was used to wake up at 10 am during my holidays. 😂 Love your channel anyway very relaxing and good way to spend a Sunday
Hi Ambre! Glad some of it made sense and thanks for all the support, and that you found the channel a nice Sunday activity 😁
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 aaah god I only slept 1 hour last night because of anxiety or.. I don't know but there's a reason and I just read my comment again today, bad idea I bet. I am always positive during the day but at night.. Not anymore if I can't fall asleep after 1 or 2 hours. But I try to rationalize and accept the fact that our bodies and brains struggle and fight for our health to make us awakening during the day when we are tired. Hope to see your another video after a good night of sleep 💤💤
You will Ambre, surely. You’re learning and teaching yourself, this is the path to peace.
You know what can really help by the way, having helpful goals.
A very natural goal to have is to sleep well or to be calmer or to have more confidence.
And of course, that’s where this program leads!! But not when those things are the goals. Because when we evaluate our progress based on how we slept any given night, how anxious we were or how much confidence we have, this will lead to performance anxiety!
Peaceful sleep and peace of mind are side products of another set of goals like for example:
“I will be kind to myself even if I didn’t sleep much.”
Or “I can be gentle and not question if I’m getting it right even when I’m anxious.”
You see how when the goal is to respond with kindness rather that to achieve a certain amount of sleep or state of mind… there’ll be no performance anxiety or goal oriented activity. This helps much!

Hello, I am new to your channel. I have a question, next to continuous jerks I am experiencing every night, I also get tension on my neck. Its like something on my throat is crashing, but it only happens at the time when I am drifting to sleep
Hi there! Welcome to the channel and thanks for this question. You know, anything that only happens when your transition into sleep I think of as a sleep-wake transitional event like Hypnic jerks or Hypnic awareness. The brain is in a mixed state and all kinds of weird things can be experienced here. The key is always to not think of them as strange, not looking for and underlying cause and not trying to prevent them. Actually, looking at them as a normal way to transition, a welcome sign that sleep is about to happen - this really helps!

Hope this helps and let me know if you have follow up questions!
I find it super helpful how you say that they are simply a sign of falling asleep. And I don't stress about it but I am still not falling asleep because of them.
Also you said sleep deprivation makes them worse. Well that's shit because its a cycle 👀
So glad this made sense Vanessa. And you know, when we use the word still, that’s something we can learn so much from.
-
The word “still” is special because in itself, it teaches us so much that is very helpful.
When we use “still” we are waiting for something to happen as a result of something we have done or something we are doing. It can be “I’m still waking up every hour even when I’m befriending wakefulness” or “I still feel anxious even if I acknowledge my emotions” or “I’m ok with Hypnic jerks but they still happen”.
It shows us that we have some effort, some trying, some attempt at having control… which is always what leads to some trouble when it comes to sleep and our inner landscape!
Now when you know this, you can take advantage by pausing when you notice yourself using the word “still”. You can take note of what it is you’re trying to change and by what means. And this is all.
Awareness in itself is all needed. Objective awareness without self criticism. “Aha, I see what my brain is up to!”. And when you simply become aware, the effort fades by itself.
-
It’s so tricky but you know, trying to leave the cycle IS the cycle.
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 hi coach bt what to do..when these jerks happens continuously & not letting you sleep for a min. Also
I don't get them when Im about to fall asleep. I get them practically as soon as I start trying to, and thier repetitive, too.
Hi GM, sorry to hear this is happening but glad you’re here. The classic sleep jerk is when you’re just about to fall asleep. But with hyperarousal, just thinking about sleep or just being hyperaroused can make them happen!
And it’s coming to have a number of them when they start happening...
Here’s a playlist that may help!
Hypnic jerks, hypnic awareness and other common issues.
ruclips.net/p/PL6RQ1GS7B1ci1B__oGwLvLaJ9Da1lmIKs
Hang in there and let us know how things go!
How are you doing today?
having it right now. feel like i get an electric shot through my mind then my whole body twitches hard.... also i am having audio hallucinations just before i feel like i'll sleep which i rarely get
Daniel, something strange with my jerks have happened. Basically before i wouldnt be able to take naps without getting jerks but now I can nap without issues! I have also accepted the limby jerks much better now - i used to fear them so much before but now I accept the jerky movements which makes them way less and i can sleep.
HOWEVER, now I have another issue, still hypnic jerks where I can startle awake where my brain kinda switches a flip and turns on the light in me and I get startled awake alongside anxiety rushes which wakes me up. This can keep me up for hours upon hours. These are now the new type of hypnic jerks that I have a hard time accepting, before it was the jerky movements which I have accepted much better. I fear I won’t be able to accept these startles as well as I did the jerks , they seem more intense if I put it that way.
Also, the way I can take naps now but have trouble sleeping during the ”regular night time sleep” - do you think this has to do with me not putting as much pressure on sleep during naps but when it comes to the night time sleep, there is more pressure which makes these jerks worse?
Hi Shorfan,
Thanks for being in touch and for all the support. You know when I read this, the first thing that came to mind was this concept of the type two error.
Let me share this!
-
The human brain is a survival machine, it always wants to keep you safe.
And it is very very cautious not to commit what’s called a type two error.
You know the story of the boy who cried Wolf. Well the third time he cries wolf, the villagers don’t believe him! They failed to see that there was actually a real problem!
The brain doesn’t want to commit this error. It thinks that if you think that this is simply anxiety, or this is just the same type of insomnia I had before or things like that, it will miss out on something that can really harm you.
So in order to keep you safe, it always tells you to look for new things. It tells you that “it’s different this time”. It tells you “you’ve never had this before”, or “it was never this bad”.
Those thoughts come from a good place. They come from a place where the brain is trying to keep you safe.
But reality is, there actually is no Wolf in the sleep world! There is no real threat, there’s only a perceived threat.
So if you were just aware of where these thoughts come from, it becomes much easier not to buy into them!
You can just be kind to the brain, tell it that you understand that it is trying to keep you safe, but you don’t need to pay too much attention to what it is saying when it’s saying things like the above.
This way you will teach it that there’s no threat and sleep will happen much easier.
-
Do you think this applies? Was this helpful?
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 Thank you Daniel! I will keep this in mind and it makes sense
So glad it did!
@@shorfan yea man, mine started with the constant jerks awake. Then they went down considerably, and transitioned to the adrenaline rushes awake. Far worse. Those have went down for me but now i wake up with panic. Occasionally the adrenaline rush but more commonly i come to, i dont feel like i ever wake up. But ill come out of my light daydream sleep and its either immediate panic or fear begins to creep in cause i feel like ive been awake for hours. If i can remember a dream that generally helps cause i feel like i got "some" sleep. Not sure if youre still experiencing this or if it made sense.
Hi,I'm Naomi.Daniel or anyone else that might have similar hypnic jerks as me tell me what you think about mine.When I am falling asleep my body will jerk maybe 4-7 times in a row,separate hypnic jerks to be more specific.I wake up shocked not confused and I don't have any falling dream hallucinations with it.When I fall asleep finally,if I wake up they won't occur again and I can usually fall back asleep without any jerks returning.I have health anxiety as well.I'd appreciate your thoughts for reasurrance.Thanks.
Hi Naomi, thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel!
Hypnic jerks really are harmless. But they can be very disruptive! Especially when you think that they may be dangerous or a sign that something is wrong. You often notice things that are different with what you’re going through and what others say, that’s a way the brain tries to keep you safe by making sure you don’t “miss anything”.
But there’s nothing to miss! And when you no longer try to figure them out or stop them, they no longer bother you.
Check out this playlist I think it will help a lot!

Every body seems to be having this transition jerks and twitches. But they are so mild and not noticeable at all. But for people who are sleep deprived, the intensity can be high making them susceptible for startled arousals repeatedly. I have tried homeopathic Zincum metallicum , L.Theanine and a vitamin tablet having B6, B12, ALA and folic acid. Seems to help reduce the intensity. But I am still unable to come out of my Insomnia problem.

I have hypnic jerks before I go to sleep every night but have no problems with insomnia at all. The jerks are in the whole body, not necessarily the legs
Hi Marcun! Very glad to hear you don’t have any insomnia, and this shows that you can have these very uncomfortable sleep related experiences and then still sleep well.
There was someone just the other day who also had whole body jerks. You may find this comment on this video. Anyways there are many things that are a bit odd that happen as we transition from one state to another. Jerks, hallucinations, loud sounds, awareness of falling asleep jolting us awake...
To me the key is to see that these transition events happen to everyone and are a normal part of falling asleep, but that we pay attention or try to stop them they get stronger.
As you can tell, the key is actually simply to understand that they are a normal part of falling asleep. When you do, then there’s less mystery and less anxiety which is always very helpful.
Understanding this also leads towards not investigating them and not trying to stop them.
And just like with insomia, the less attention the better.
A helpful analogy that I have started using is one of an airplane landing. There is often some turbulence and some shakiness on the airplane touches the ground. Which is completely normal! If the pilot would abort landing because of turbulence, then the landing would be delayed. But if they proceed, the airplane is soon on the ground. Similarly, when we transition from wakefulness into sleep, there is some normal turbulence there. Nothing strange or unusual!
In fact, when you start looking at these jerks as a welcome sign the sleep is about to happen, that really helps. Because not only does it take you away from trying to stop them, but you’re actually OK with them happening. And when that happens, you are no longer going to be anxious and you’re going to experience less of them and sleep better!
@@thesleepcoachschool8192/ try to stop them / by this means what you actually trying to tell coach. I mean changing sleeping position or leg position before they arrive is it trying to stop Them?
I've suffered from this for years and occasionally i wake with severe back pain.
Ho Ontenge, sorry to hear this. If you check any of the new episodes, you'll find a playlist on jerks in the description. I think that one could be really helpful. Hang in there!
This is what happening to me now. I have constant body pains and vibration in my left leg and i got stressed thinking about it for 3weeks now. I think i have anxiety also and thats what triggers my hypnic jerks. I experience this before but i get back to sleep right away unlike now every time i got my sleep i got awake with the jerks sometimes it feels like im nervous. I cant get a nap in the afternoon because of this jerks.

Hi Alex, thanks for commenting!
First thing, nothing here is medical advice so make sure whenever you're concerned about your health that you talk to your doctor!
This said, jerks and twitches are often seen with insomnia and happen because of hyperarousal.
Imagine all the runners in the 100 m dash lined up waiting for the start signal. If someone sneezes the jolt! That's hyperarousal.
If you check any new video, look in the description and you'll find an entire playlist on hypnic jerks, I think it could help you a lot!
Hey can we talk about this , currently dealing with this. Thanks
I was having question how much time or days hypnic jerks last for
Hi Utkarsh,
They happen daily the time to most of not all humans. But most people don’t notice them. It’s when we start thinking something is wrong that they bother us. When we let them happen and look at them as normal, then they stop bothering us.
Its 4:23 am still trying to get some sleep so tired I will fall asleep then jurk up in my sleep every time I fall asleep dont know what's is happening my body would feel so heated my heart pumping so fast I have to get up from my bed when this is happening feels as if I am going crazy

how about hypnic jerks during the day,
not during sleep transition?
Hi, I’d say when we have jerks and not in sleep transitions during the day, they’re by definition not Hypnic, but often come from the same place: anxiety. We get really jumpy when we are frazzled, and knowing this can often be really helpful
Just about to fall asleep? No..I have them all the time day and night. WHy?
Hi vg,
Of course no medical advice here but often the more we try to figure out why something is happening and the more we try to stop it, the more scary it seems and the more it bothers us, whether it’s day or night

Everyone experiencing this might want to find a neurologist and ask for a "Brain Mapping". You can see which part of the brain is lacking certain waves (theta, aplha, etc), and you can try brain wave therapy to restore the brain wave to normal level. I've experienced this for a year, and so far by using brain therapy and prescribed medicine, I'm starting to sleep better. Hope it can help.
Hey can we talk i need help.
@@Bratznasam What's wrong?
@@RhezaMaulana im struggling bad with insomnia and hypnic jerks, did brain mapping help you? And what medicine helped?
@@Bratznasam Brain mapping helps to understand what's going on but in the long term, you need to know what causes the jerks. It could be stress or trauma. I would reccomend you going to a psychologist who can prescribe epileptic medicine to soothe the jerks first, then try to find out if you have stress or trauma that is causing the jerks subconsciously.
@@RhezaMaulana okay thank you!
Any one get twitches when walking up
Hi David! As others may hop in here an share their experiences, I’ll just say that I hear about twitches all times of the day/night cycle. Whenever you can be hyperaroused- you can have twitches from hyperarousal!
For my the center of the jerks is the chest and neck area ! Sometimes so intense that my throat shuts for a second...
