Weird Sleeping Phenomenon
Post Body

Hello! Really looking for some help or direction, I can't seem to crack this one.

Male, 29 years old, 5'11", 170lbs, no history of health problems, mild anxiety (no medication), nicotine "vape-er", active & co-habitating with girlfriend.

I've been experiencing this on and off for a while now, but now it seems to be getting worse:

SEVERE JERKING/TWITCHING IN SLEEP - so bad, to the point my Partner thought I was hitting myself in my sleep (maybe I actually was?). I've heard of hypnic jerks before, but this is also WHEN I'm asleep most of the time, and my Partner will wake me up.

Honestly, it's kinda freaky - sometimes when I'm trying to sleep my whole body (or part of my body) will suddenly JERK, last night it was my jaw, which was really weird. And, as mentioned, the DURING part of sleeping twitches is pretty freaky too.

Please help!
