Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Sleep starts (hypnagogic jerks, predomital myoclonus, or hypnic jerks) are sudden brief contractions of the legs, sometimes involving the arms and the head, which may occur at sleep onset. Although they are fairly common and generally thought to be benign, in some individuals they interfere with sleep onset and may lead to a complaint of insomnia and/or excessive daytime sleepiness http://sleep.ep.usm.edu/chris/ssabstract.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
