<p>Okay so like I usually surf the web at night, because it is the only time when my house is truly peaceful and i am not mad so I ten to stay up even though i am really sleepy. Here is the problem recently when I am surfing and I start to dose off my head does a really violent jurk/shake. Normally I wouldn't think much about it but i can't control it like even if I want to go to sleep i have to suppress the feeling to do that. I guess my body clued in on my feelings want to stay up and created this little thing....</p>
<p>Can anyone offer me some tips soon I am freaked out because I am going to do some damage to my neck if it keeps going on.</p>
<p>Protip: if you feel sleepy, it’s probably best to go to bed instead of staying in your chair.</p>
<p>That strange jerk happens to me a lot when I start falling asleep in <place that’s=“” not=“” a=“” bed=“”>, though it’s less intense than what you appear to be experiencing.</place></p>
<p>I think you’re suffering from some kind of hypnic jerk. (Think Inception and the entire concept of the “kick”. You get a falling sensation, and your brain panics and tries to wake you up.) Happened to me a few times today while I was trying to fall asleep on the plane. The best way to treat it, I suppose, is to regularize your sleep schedule and to sleep lying down. From what I can gather, sometimes when you start to nod off, your brain likes to confuse falling asleep with - well, falling down, which results in this little problem.</p>
<p>Never watched Inception buy other than that, everything else was awesome advice thank you</p>
<p>Go to bed you crazy fool.</p>

<p>UGH! Its happening again!</p>
<p>Train your body to go to sleep at a certain time.</p>
<p>I use to have it trained but now to my unpredictable life I can’t stick to the a single schedule</p>
<p>Well, chose a time that you are almost always home by… be it one or ten… and go to sleep then every night. Then bump it an hour earlier or later if you need to but get in a habit. It’s the only way to train it. And do something other than the computer. Write in a journal. Read an easy book. Something you can do laying down in bed. But train your body to react when you need to go to sleep. I’m very much a need to read five minutes at least then go to sleep. When I read like that my body knows its time for bed and I can sleep better. Pavlov’s dog of sleeping.</p>
<p>what happens is at the moment when you fall asleep, all your muscles relax, including the ones that hold your head up. the jerk is your body freaking out that your head is falling and picking it back up, causing you to wake up.</p>
