That's why it's called falling asleep..lol. i do that all the time, i twitch just before I "FALL" asleep. it's called hypnagogic myoclonus (first word means sleep, second word means twitch). check out this link for more! It's really cool.

hahaha yea THAT HAPPENS TO ME EVERY NIGHT! wow i thought i was the only one...you like start going to sleep then get awoken cause something scares the crap out of you all of a sudden and makes you feel like you just tripped and are about to land on your face.? haahaha scary **** yea i dont know what thats called, but it prolly has something to do with your nervous system, nerves, reflexes and stress...who knows lolHealth Question & Answer

sometimes it may be a sign of a drop in blood pressure,...like a sinking into yourself/falling feeling. maybe that is happening because of very stressful life style, and your body , when you are relaxing, the blood pressure drops suddenly, then normalises to your restful state.There are negative feedback loops in the body that help bring it to it's normal state.
The twitching are the nerves relaxing.Health Question & Answer
