Tripping and falling in my sleep

This happens sometimes as im falling asleep. I dont see anything, i just have the feeling of being shoved to the ground and right as i hit the ground i wake up. My heart is racing and i gasp. Its kinda frightening for the moment. Who else?

    I think everybody does it. There used to be a myth about it where if you DIDN'T wake up, then you died in your sleep.
    Bullshit, of course.
    Apparently it's something that has stayed through evolution. It was a reflex, or "safety-feature" if you will, back from when humans were pretty much monkeys.
    When we used to sleep in trees etc. You would jerk in your sleep and automatically catch whatever was nearest you.
    Apparently scientists say some apes & monkeys still do it nowadays :)
    Totally normal.

    Yeah, i think we all get it sometimes. It's a bit freaky at first. But I enjoy it now. Like a carnival ride.
    If I could bring it on voluntarily I would for the fun of it.

    That's a disorder, I think. You should get that checked out so you can have a more restful sleep. :)
