In your sleep you suddenly feel as if you are falling from a steep hill or stairway. The whole body is shaken and sleep is broken, have you ever suffered from such a problem?

It was about 12:11 at night. At the end of the day's hard work, the body is no longer moving. Mr. Rahim's eyes fell asleep as soon as he leaned on the bed. One minute, two minutes, ten minutes, so after about half an hour I suddenly felt like falling from a high place in my sleep. The whole body was shaken and the sleep was broken. In real life, about 60 to 70 percent of people have experienced such incidents. Why is that? Let's know the details.

 

In medical parlance, shaking is called Hypnic Jerk or Myoclonic Jerk or Sleep Start. Hypnic jerk is a type of involuntary muscle tension that usually occurs after a person falls asleep, called myoclonus. Such things happen between sleep and wakefulness. The exact cause of the hypnotic jerk is unknown. Scientists believe that myoclonus originated in the brain.

It is caused by the cerebral cortex of the brain or the part of the brain for which you are shocked. It may be that hypnotic jerks occur due to the instability of the neurotransmitter in this area when a person goes from awake to asleep. Also causes of hypnotic jerk:

1. Caffeine, nicotine, tea, coffee and other stimulants keep the brain and body awake. Overdose, especially in the late afternoon and evening, can lead to insomnia. As well as the effects of chemicals in the drink can cause hypnotic jerk.

2. Excessive anxiety and stress can lead to sleep problems. This is because the human brain is active as a result of stress and various kinds of thoughts are spinning in the head. This can lead to sleep problems such as tremors or hypnotic jerks. 

3. Exercise, like anxiety, also keeps the brain active and fresh. However, if you exercise at night without exercising in the morning or during the day, it will result in sleep disturbance. Excessive physical activity and exercise before going to bed at night can cause hypnotic jerks. 

4. People who suffer from insomnia or insomnia are more likely to have a habit of waking up at night, overwork, using a phone-laptop before going to bed at night, browsing the net for long periods of time, sleeping soundly, or suffering from insomnia.

Moreover, the body lacks calcium, magnesium and iron; Hands and feet tingle in sleep; Hypnosis can be caused by loud noises. Scientists have recently come up with some theory based on evolution as the cause of sleep deprivation. There are also some theories by neuroscientists as to the cause of the hypnotic jerk. The exact cause is not yet known.

The type of hypnotic jerk may vary from person to person. Hypnotic jerks are usually accompanied by a feeling of falling asleep, flashing lights or having strange dreams or hallucinations, or a crunching sound like something breaking. There is nothing to be afraid of when you wake up with a jolt. Lifestyle changes are needed to prevent hypnosis. Such as: meditating, keeping your mind free from worries, sleeping regularly, exercising during the day without exercising at night, taking less stimulant drinks like caffeine etc. 

However, if you do not get rid of the problem of shaking, it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor.
