Hypnic jerks/ Sleep starts

2020-09-16 13:44:44
I have been having hypnic jerks within 15-20 minutes of going to bed for the last 10 days. I wake up with a feeling of falling down and then there is an adrenaline rush that gets my heart racing and it does not settle down for hours. I would like to consult with someone who understands the issue and can suggest treatment without anidepressants/benzodiazepenes etc..thanks in advance !
