yup, happens to me all the time, I'll be just about asleep and then BAM I jerk myself awake because it felt like I was falling.

It rarely happens to me. It happens at the moment between when I'm asleep and I'm awake. I guess its normal. I thought I'm the only one who experiences this.

My Psychology professor once explained this to my class once... its something about sub-conscious sending signals to your nerves something something.... I wish I payed more attention to him about that though. XD

This happens alot during the younger ages too, infants have this alot, and its a huge case of when they start crying in the middle of the night.
I've got this feeling quite a bit too, Not only while trying to get to bed, but if im relaxing and it jumps me.

Happens to me a lot, but I usually keep myself from falling through blockading myself with a pillow.

According to wikipedia, it is called Hypnic Jerk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk)
Happened to me for a few times, in my dream I was falling and then I just wake up (body jerking), trying to "stop" myself from falling.

For me it usually happens when Im not particularly tired but I lay down and slowly drift to sleep, and my reality and dream scope kinda "blend" and its hard to tell exactly when im asleep or awake cause I dream that I'm laying in bed falling asleep hahah, but then I get up and do things in the dream and then a sudden trip, or fall, a surprise usually gives me the kick awake or the plopping into bed feeling.
Almost like someone kicked you out of a dream.

Yes, This happens to me and for the record it's called a myoclonic jerk. The brain sometimes interprets the decrease in blood flow as the body dying and sends a pulse to wake it up.
