Gear increases hypnic jerk?

[cftcft]

I thought I'd post my experience and see if anyone has had the same observation.

A hypnic jerk is perfectly harmless and normal thing that happens to many people. When you're falling asleep, you experience a falling sensation and your leg will twitch or jerk you awake. About 70% of people have experienced this at some time.

Anyway, this would happen to me rarely---maybe twice a year. However, since I've started my cycle, it's been happening to me about two or three times a week. I can't think of any variable that I've introduced other than the gear that would account for this. I'm thinking it has something to with increased muscle fatigue (if you read about hypnic jerk, you will see what I'm talking about).

I'm not worried about it and I know it's not a big deal, but just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this.

LOL - you may be on to something here. On cycle, I did that once so hard that I nearly kicked the little petite chick out of bed. My dog was pissed too.

I wonder if it has something to do with the way you sleep and serotonin, etc.

please dont tell me u have the hound in the bed along with the petite chick!

ruh-roh

doggie style.

(100lbs of dog makes a great foot warmer. I don't know when it happens, but the bastard always slinks up on the bed at some point in the night.)

Yes, I do. I also have more episodes of Restless Leg Syndrome. It could be serotonin, but I am pretty sure that have related it to dopamine. Dball is the major culprit for me. I get some of the same feelings of coming of an SSRI as I do with dball in the middle of the night.

I think it goes to show that there is much more involved with gear than point and shoot. Makes the case for continuing to research it as much as you can.
