Is it normal jerking awake every time?

Every time I wake up, and I mean everytime, with a gasp and a jerk. Even when I wake up on my own. I read about REM sleep and a sort of reaction people have, and I guess I'm a mild case or something. Every morning, I gasp and automatically sit up! It makes me really light-headed! Does anyone know if I can make it stop?

    I though you were going to ask about jerking off at morning or something.

    You have sleep apnea. It's when u don't get enough air when u sleep which causes u to gasp for air or feel like u can't breathe when u wake up.

      Sort of, except I don't always have nightmares, and it's not THAT dramatic.

    I would definitely get a sleep test.

    Lol I expected this thread to be a lot different by the title.
