To find out why this happens, it is important to know what happens with the body at the time before falling asleep. When we fall asleep, our blood pressure and respiratory rate decreases. The body functions slow down and body temperature drops.
However, it is important to know that our brain function gradually slow down – not in seconds, but within minutes. It is not possible to fall into a deep sleep within seconds.
Breathing deepens, eye movement changes, heart rate slows, and it all culminates in a few seconds before fall into a deep sleep. At this point, our body works on “standby”.
Twitch causes a rapid heartbeat, sweat, quickened breathing, sweat, and in rare cases, temporary memory loss, shock or anxiety.
