These are normally found in 60-70% of people. These are called 'Hypnagogic Jerks', or more commonly known as 'Sleep Starts'. There could be a sensation of falling or losing control over your body. The jerks are commonly seen in legs just as the body is transitioning from wakeful state into light sleep.
