Sometimes when i go to sleep, I feel like I fell on the floor. why?

Question

Every now and then, when I try to go to sleep, My whole body just jerks and it feels like i fell out of my bed and hit the floor, only I haven't. Any possible explanations for this?

Answer 1

I think I get this too but I don't feel like I've fallen on the floor, I think it's like a point where your almost asleep but not yet asleep and you just have something stressing you out so you just can't fall asleep. I really don't know much about it, but I don't think you should worry about it.

Answer 2

you are going into the last stage of sleep, the REM sleep.  don't worry.

Answer 3

I dont feel like I have hit the floor lol but I feel like I am falling, sometimes htis happends to my husband and he sort of jumps, this happens to everyone it is just the point where your drifting to sleep. Sometimes before I fall asleep my mind goes all funny and I start thinking really weird things but I never remember in the morning

Answer 4
