RE: Real Help for Severe Insomnia

Huh. That hypnic jerk thing sounds interesting. I've never heard of it, but I think I've done that before. One of the stations in my job involves a lot of upper body work, arms and shoulders mostly. When I was learning it, my wife would say that I'd jerk in my sleep a lot and often hit her, as I slept with an arm around her often. Lucky me, she never hit back 😂

Yes! This can be a huge barrier to falling asleep. I think we all experience it every now and again, but some people have it quite bad. I remember my brother jerking awake literally every few seconds while trying to fall asleep. I suspect chiropractic can help with this. Did you ever try that?
