Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Carl's JustGiving page.

Hypnic Jerks/Sleep Myoclonus.

Carl found his hypnic jerks relentless and this prevented him from gaining healthy sleep , in turn it led him to becoming anxious about sleep.

This is a debilitating condition, as extreme sleep deprivation creates high stress for sufferers and Carl had no restorative sleep in 6 months.

Unfortunately, at the moment, there is little study on the causes of hypnic jerks and the reason why they start. As a family we hope that more research will be carried out in the future to help others.
