Jerking leg

Does anyone else ever fall asleep and have some dream about whatever and suddenly your leg is injured or you move it suddenly in the dream like as if you are running and, in real life, your leg twists and/or jerks and you wake up and it aches like hell? does that happen to anyone else?

    it's happened to me a few times when i was extremely exhausted when trying to fall asleep. it's like my overworked brain had a small cache of electricity stored in the part that controlled my leg. i'd just be drifting into sleep when my leg would spasm and it would be so brisk of a kick i'd wake myself up. i guess as my brain was relaxing it let go of it's stored charge? but i have had dreams where i thought something was going to hit me and i raised my arms to defend myself. i woke up afterwards. just one of the many weird things our body does. ain't it great/interesting?

    this is a result of your system shutting down. when you sleep all of your organs go into a kind of remission mode. when your leg does that it's your body telling itself that it's still alive and running. it's completely normal and it's just a function of your body.

    Yes, it's not only normal, it's actually quite common. It's a condition called ... ahhh I can't remember the exact name but I learned about it in a Psychology class. What happens is your leg is shaking and jerking in your sleep and after a while, just as if you were excersizing at a gym, your leg gets sore and tired.

    yes. sometimes with me i dream about getting chased by something, and then if it catches me or bites me, i usually wake up and i get a cramp or something, or i'll hit anyone of my head/arm/leg/toe on something really fucking hard
