It's called a Hypnic Jerk. It's annoying right?

I think its just you felt a sleep and then you might off had a bad though and mini nightmate :)

Haha, I'm not sure why it happens, maybe because you are having a dream that you are falling.. It happens to me sometimes too, and my husband cracks up!!

It happened because I just saved a lot of money on car insurance.

i am pretty sure its you falling into a deeper sleep well thats what ive always thought anyway could be wrong.

i wish i could tell u b/c it happens to me all the time. i guess it is just a mystery of the bodily functions that will never be named-a mystery i suppose. talk to a doctor.

It could be sleep apnea. You may have stopped breathing and its the body saying hey your not breathing.

It could be due to:

*bad dreams
*stress

And as I heard so many times when I was growing up, jumping in your sleep and jerking awake could be your body growing, sometimes too fast. :]
