Does this happen to you? Very strange.

Go to your room or something, and jump on a spring bed or regular couch. Feel the impact on your body?

Oftentimes, I simply imagine this, and my body does an exact movement on my bed as the impact force.

Basically, it’s the impact of hitting the bed without jumping on it.

What is this?

Iam still thinking about what you mean, can you describe it a bit more clear?

I think I understand.
He can recreate that sensation without having to jump on the bed … he is just laying down, and can induce the sensation.

I have no idea what it is.

This sounds like Imagination… I mean, you Imagine the physical impact on your body using that you already know how the body will move in that case… Or maybe its just like a though, that the brain send signals that replace the physical movement… I have no idea

That might be it, that the brain sends signals to my body to replace the actual act with just the impact; the senstation. But why? It’s not like I’ve ever enjoyed or even cared about the feeling of jumping on my bed.

I’m pretty screwed up.

Nobody knows why… <_<;

are you sure this isn’t Myoclonic jerk or Hypnagogic jerk?
It’s pretty common for everyone.

…Sorry that your having jerking movements. I will assume that your myoclonic jerks are actual jerks and not just perceived jerks. Yes, myoclonic jerks and hypnagogic jerks can be the same. They can both occur into or out of sleep. They are normal and can be present or absent at any one time. Myoclonic jerks can also be associated with epilepsy, hypoxia, cervical cord damage, metabolic disease, toxic exposure, etc. So, one needs to figure out if these are just sleep related events or other types of events. You might have to repeat the sleep study, or get a video-EEG monitored evaluation to be sure. Since you have a history of a head trauma, I would bet the latter would be a good first choice. The length of time that you could have this would depend on the etiology, as would how to manage it. So, I can’t tell you much without knowing the etiology.

Sincerely,

Ignore the head trauma part
otherwise the “jerk” is pretty common … if this is what you are experiencing.

I think its then nothing more then an uncontroled free association!
