It's called a hypnic jerk! It usually happens just as you're falling asleep, and it's totally normal.

We twitch because our muscles are relaxing while our brain is still active. Think of it as your body saying, ‘Hey, are we sure we want to sleep now?’

Honestly, it's just your brain misfiring a bit as it transitions into sleep. Nothing to worry about!
