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 😂
