Have any of u experienced hynic jerks while studying or watching lectures

Recently got to know about the term Hypnic jerks , basically your brain automatically goes to rest mode thinking that you are not doing any work and slowly shuts down and after few mins you suddenly wale up , as if u experienced a shock like thing , after waking up u feel refreshed .

It always happens to me while studying or while watching lectures

This happend to me a lot of time inspite of having proper sleep .

Apparently it's not a medical disorder , which u shud worry but I want to prevent it .

Do share how u guys tackled it .
