Hi all

Hope everyone is having a good day. I was wondering if any one has had body jolts. When I'm trying to rest my body will twitch and then I my chest/stomach area will have a Hugh jolt that will make my body move.

thanks

Yep, these are pretty common...the worst are the 'hypnic jerks' (great name for a band!) that happen right as you fall asleep!...see the link below.
Body jolts, body zaps, electric jolt feeling in body, intense body tremor or “body shake” ...from the AnxietyCentre website

Hope your weekend is jerk free, lol!

I get one each night right before I fall asleep. I just chalk it up to my body saying, "AAAAHHH, finally sleep time.".
