terribleturner Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 .... to fall asleep and you may get that feeling like you're falling, or a leg or arm twitches?? Well someone at work is trying to tell me that it's a natural reactions by the body to check if you're dead?? But why would your body do that?? If you were then what would it be able to do?? Sounds like something written in the sun or news of the world to me, but if anyone to babk him up please do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk Don't think there's a proven reason for it yet. A few theories abound, but nothing solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I do that all the time... annoys the hell out of Charlotte.. she thinks I do it on purpose? women! Well it's annoying when I'm trying to get to sleep and a mini earthquake occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I do that all the time... annoys the hell out of Charlotte.. she thinks I do it on purpose? women! Well it's annoying when I'm trying to get to sleep and a mini earthquake occurs. Perhaps - but I think most of the people on this forum would think it's unlikely that Mike would annoy you on purpose. Not unless he's very stupid - or very brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 When I broke my leg, I also got a DVT and embollism and as such had to have the cast re-opened to let the veins breath. I then suffered these twitches and the healing that had occured in the previous week or so from the initial break, broke again. I can tell you that hurt more than the initial break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazla Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 My dog does it all the time. she lets out little yelps and her legs are twitching away. It looks like she's dreaming about running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 My dog does it all the time. she lets out little yelps and her legs are twitching away. It looks like she's dreaming about running. I think dogs are dreaming of chasing things, and the whimpers are their dream barks. Funny to watch, especially if you wake them up during a 'chase' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
