Uncle Zhang has been sleeping hard all this timeNot long after lying down at night, I will suddenly feel as if I have fallen from the sky, and my body will "jump" violently, scaring myself half to death. At first, he thought it was caused by his tiring work during the day or too much for dinner, but this situation became more and more frequent, which made Uncle Zhang feel anxious. 
Uncle Zhang brought this matter to the big family meeting, hoping that the family would give an idea. Everyone expressed their opinions, the little daughter-in-law said that her blood pressure was unstable, her wife felt that it was insomnia and depression, and even her teenage grandson couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, are you evil?" When these words were said in the crowd, they immediately caused laughter, but Uncle Zhang couldn't laugh at all. One day over the weekend, the matter was also mentioned to the community senior center. After the old neighbor Uncle Li heard this, he slapped his forehead, ".It's not a big deal, I've had it before, it's called hypnotic muscle jerks, I watch TV about it. Uncle Zhang was surprised, this name sounded quite academic, but it was the first time he had heard of it. Uncle Li kept talking, it turned out to arouse everyone's interest, not only Uncle Zhang, but everyone else at the scene also pricked up their ears.
So, what exactly is hypnotic muscle jerk? In short,It's a kind of muscle that involuntarily spasms when we are about to fall asleep, like a small shaking, as if it feels like falling from a high altitude. Do you think you're the only one who is so unlucky? Actually, no, this phenomenon is very common and almost everyone will experience it several times in their life.
But why is this so? Actually,There are various reasons in life that can lead to the occurrence of this phenomenon. For example,If you're too tired during the day, or you're under so much stress that your work is like a marathonAt night, your nervous system may still be in a tense state, and your body may "jump" a little, prompting you to relieve a little. Don't say anything else,Even small minerals in your body, such as low levels of calcium, can make your muscles appear extra "tense" and cause twitches. When we were young, our parents always told us to drink more milk, just because calcium nutrition is important. When adults grow up, don't forget to replenish well.
If you still don't feel comfortable sleeping at night, and you are always scared to wake up, the quality of sleep is definitely not guaranteed. At this time, do you want to go to the hospital immediately for brain CT or MRI? Don't worry,First of all, you have to observe whether this happens occasionally. If it's just once in a while, it might not really be a big deal, just think it's your body reminding you that you may be a little tired lately. But if you find that this "jump" occurs frequently, especially if it is accompanied by other discomforts, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, etc., then you need to pay attentionHurry to the hospital and talk to the doctor face-to-face about this matter.
Hearing this, you must be thinking in your heart, is there any way to make this situation of broken dreams less common? Good! Please follow me and let's explore together.
First of all, life and rest should be standardized. You need to get enough sleep so that your body and brain have plenty of time to rest and repair themselves. If you are a night owl and always like to stay up until midnight, the next day it is estimated that your muscles will not wake up than you, and you will accidentally "twitch", but don't blame it.
Caffeine is known to make your heart beat faster and you won't sleep well. So, if you've been thinking about how many pots of coffee you have to make a day to be refreshed, then I've got to remind youDon't consume more than 400 mg of caffeine per dayThat's about three cups of coffee. Then, at night** before going to bed, you might as well stretch and stretch. This will help you relieve muscle tension and give those muscles who have been tired of working all the time a chance to relax completely. Don't underestimate these small gestures of stretching your legs and bending over, they can help you have a restful night.
As for the sleeping position, it's probably something you've never thought about. But it's actually important. We're not children anymore, and sleeping on the bed was a thing of our student days. When I grew up, in order not to burden my chest, and to stay away from that "shaking" from time to time,Sleep on your side normally, so it doesn't put pressure on your heart and helps you breathe easier.
In this way, as soon as Uncle Zhang heard Uncle Li's explanation, he felt that his mouth was suddenly open. After returning home, I began to adjust my routine and calmly face the "shaking" of my body. He also encouraged others in the community not to panic easily about small changes in their bodies, and to learn to actively cope with and prevent them. Slowly, everyone felt that Uncle Zhang's words were really reasonable. After all, the body is your own, and only by taking good care of it can you walk a longer road in health and happiness.
