Hypnic Jerk (Zeitgeber)

from Circadian Rhtyhms Sleep Disorders by Marco "uBiK" Bonini

/

about

is an involuntary myoclonic twitch which occurs during hypnagogia, just as a person is beginning to fall asleep, often causing him or her to awaken suddenly. Physically, hypnic jerks resemble the "jump" experienced by a person when startled, often accompanied by falling sensation. A higher occurrence in people with irregular sleep schedules is reported.

zeitgeber (from german for "time giver," or "synchronizer") is any exogenous (external) cue that synchronizes an organism's endogenous (internal) time-keeping system (clock) to the earth's 24-hour light/dark cycle. the strongest zeitgeber, for both plants and animals, is light. non-photic zeitgebers include temperature, social interactions, pharmacological manipulation, exercise, and eating/drinking patterns. to maintain clock-environment synchrony, zeitgebers induce changes in the concentrations of the molecular components of the clock to levels consistent with the appropriate stage in the 24-hour cycle, a process termed entrainment.
