Hypnic Jerks..Do you get them?

It was an interesting article I was reading in Readers Digest.

What those twitches and jerks that occasionally wake us up just as we are falling asleep? Usually in the leg.  Hypnic Jerk according to David Bodani's The Body Book.

They occur when nerve fibres leading to the leg, in a bundle produces a harsh tightening of a tiny portion of muscle fibres that is linked to it down in the leg, and when they all fire together the leg twitches as a whole.

Sleep specialists haven't pinned down what causes hypnic jerks or why they occur only at the onset of sleep. Unlike myoclonic jerks - spasm, that occur at regular intervals during deep sleep.

    • Marshall Goldsmith
      Several ideas run through most of Goldsmith’s writings: * The same beliefs that lead to our success – can make it very difficult for us to change behavior – and, as difficult as it is to change our own behavior, it is even more difficult to change others’ perception of our behavior. * The behavior of leaders needs to be reflective of the stated values of the corporation – and key executives need to ‘go first’ in modeling positive behavioral change. * Managers who receive feedback and engage in ongoing follow-up with co-workers will almost always achieve positive, change in behavior and be seen as more effective leaders by their key stakeholders (this was shown in a Strategy+Business article that involved over 86,000 respondents). * The key to success in executive coaching is not the coach (who is a facilitator of change) – it is the people being coached and their key stakeholders. * Leadership development should provide tools that can be used in a positive, simple, focused and fast manner. Complex theories of change, while interesting, will not work in the ‘real world’ with over-extended executives. * Most executive education has historically been based upon an invalid assumption, “If they understand – they will do.” The basic challenge faced by managers is not understanding the practice of leadership – it is practicing their understanding of leadership.
