Of course a doctor won't recommend it, there's no expensive medicine for a hypnic jerk.

I didnt know hypnic jerk is what that was. I also thought that happened to everyone now and then. I do have insomnia too and have since I was a little girl. It came and went through the years but then re-emerged itself full force when I started nursing school.

That's definitely possible. Just because it's a disorder doesn't mean everybody can't have it.
