I have been having this for a couple of months now,off and on. Just as I'm about to get to sleep my body jerks me awake. It feels like I am having muscle spasms or something. Last night it kept doing it over and over and was up most of the night with this. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

I get this sometimes. I'm almost asleep and I then my body jerks really hard. It is kind of like a big spasm. It only happens once and then I go to sleep. I've done this since I was a child. It does not happen a lot though and only once when it does happen. I never worry worry about it. Just another weird thing happening to me.
My Nuerologist says this is normal to those who do not sleep well. It has a name, but I can not remember it.
It only means when our body starts to relax it jerks because we are not sleeping well when we sleep.
Hope this helps.
