It's called Hypnic Jerk. I get it too. It always freaks me out, until I realize I'm in bed. Here's more info.

i dont know what causes it but i get it all the time and i thought i was the only one! you get a star for this queastion.

you have pinworms

one time i had a dream i was falling of a boat but it was just my bed and i woke up real quick

This is a really common experience to many. I've had it on numerous occasions in my life. It's supposed to be something connected with the transition of the body / mind going from sleep to wakefulness. Some suggest it happens as a result of your spirit returning to your body after being on the astroplane.

I thought I was the only one too. For example last night I closed my eyes and thought I was falling. Maybe watching a movie where someone is falling and your like I DONT WANT TO FALL AND DIE LIKE THAT and so and so. Me I watch alot of movies like that..that might cause that.

You are not alone. I get it that same feeling also. Are you afraid of Heights, by any chance. I am, and I believe that is why it is happening to me. i also have alot of dreams that I am falling and wake up just before I land. It is scary, but only a dream. Hope you can find ananswer, but this is my answer to why I am falling when starting to fall asleep. Hope I can be a bit of help to you. Defitz47
