Our bodies are very interesting
things. They can actually inform us when something is not right. One of
the things that our body does is twitching before you fall asleep. If
this has been happening to you we want to tell you not to panic, you are
not the only one. Sometimes, after a long day, you are in your bed and
ready to sleep. However, there is a sudden interruption by twitching and
this makes you wonder what could be wrong. Just continue reading.
According to scientists, this is known as the hypnic twitch and it
resembles a feeling or falling thus making your bodytwitch. Some
scientists believe that it might be the consumption of caffeine before
bed or certain medications like Adderal and Ritalin. However, this also
goes for people who are very exhausted and who finally go to sleep, but
too fast. This is due to the fact that the brain cannot keep up with the
sleep phases.
One hypothesis says that this happens because you are starting to dream but you are not fully asleep and this is a symptoms of both of these things fighting.
Another evolutionary hypothesis claims that this happens because this was the body’s way to wake up our ancestors before they fell out of the trees.
Namely, when your brain is confused, it will restart and you will wake up with a burst of chemicals. This is however not dangerous for your health, but it is still not a very good feeling. There are still also those opinions that twitches are connected to early onsets of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s, brain injury or nerve damage. But this is if it is too serious.
