So, we've probably all had them at one point in our life, or maybe I'm being presumptuous. I've had them a few times in my past but I've never really noticed them until now where I've been having them a little bit more frequently and it's really annoying.
It's generally right before I fall into a deep sleep (I really don't know any of the technical jargon for the different stages of sleep) and right before I drift off, I have these quick and weird little dreams where I fall off of something and my whole body recognizes it as if it's actually happening and my entire body jolts as if I actually hit the ground and then I'm wide awake again and it's rather hard to fall back asleep after that. It almost feels like a rush of adrenaline but after about 3 minutes I can get back to sleep.
So, any explanation for this? What causes it, what is it exactly, etc....
Thanks in advance.
