Do I have a sleep disorder?

Posted by Edith on April 12, 1998 at 20:06:46:

I have this problem: Starting out it was just, that when I was falling asleep, I would jerk awake lightly, since that time, it has became more frequent, about five times during the time I am falling asleep, I jerk harder, often sit up making loud noise, throwing my arms out in front of me, often stiffening my body,or cringing, it always wakes me up, I even do this in the day time when taking a nap always when falling asleep. I make a noise like hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Does anyone else do this is this a sleep disorder? MY husband says I do not seem to stop breathing. Thanks Please e-mail me if you can relate. Thanks
