Why do we twitch before we sleep? Yaaaawwwnnnn....

Here are some interesting insights into why we yawn and why we twitch just before falling asleep. A doctor told me once that the twitch could be genetic. I tendedc to believe him as my siblings reported a similar instances as also my children. This study seems to implicate caffeine.
Unfortunately all in our family are fond of coffee/tes at all times. So, the jury is still out for me. β˜• β˜•

    Have you experienced any twitch while in dream state. Usually such a dream ends with the sensation of falling from a height. Just before collision one experiences a twitch leading to the end of the dream.
    Furthermore , has anybody experienced death while dreaming ? I never have. The dream usually ends before death occurs in it.
