Sleep problem
I'm facing some problems with my sleep. As I go into sleep i feel like my body is vibrating very fast mostly head and full body too. It lasts 10-30 sec. If I try to resist it, jerks gets stronger than before. Previously it was just one hand or leg but now full body is involved. This usually happens when I think about something before sleeping. It's frequency has increased I used to have very few in a month but it's increased last week I faced it 3 times. As I wake up I feel numb and very scared.

These jerks which occur while going off to sleep are known as Hypnic jerks.
These are normal and harmless but they can be disruptive.
Following a good sleep hygiene( like eating 2 hours prior to sleep, avoiding tv and phone at bed time, sleeping on same time everyday etc) , avoiding alcohol and caffeine, can help with the hypnic jerks.
