1:1 Coaching
Although there are similarities among people with this condition, it seems everyone has an individual experience. After nights of relentless jerking, it can be very difficult to focus on an individualized plan to restore your health. Coaching can help you harness your strengths and accurately assess your needs. You will be supported in exploring triggers (food, medications, supplements, sleep position, physical exertion, or body pain) in addition to spinal problems or sources of infection contributing to the problem. An important goal is to help you decrease items of inflammation and identify areas of improper blood or CSF fluid flow in your body. This is key to getting relief. Additionally, through coaching, ways to decrease over activation of your nervous system will be explored. Finally, coaching can serve to help you to better communicate your needs and mobilize support from folks around you.

Virtual Support Group
Sign up to join our private emotional support group. The group provides an opportunity to “meet” others struggling with hypnic jerking. Together we create a healthy place to address the socio-emotional aspects related to living with this condition.
Groups are limited to a small size (up to 8 participants at a time) and will be facilitated to preserve the integrity of the experience.
Please note that this is not a medical group - conversation on what alleviates hypnic jerking will be redirected to the Facebook group.

Hypnic Jerking Forum
Our "Think Tank"
An upcoming project involves the creation of a professional zoom “Think Tank” in which practitioners will be invited to further explore origins of the hypnic jerking condition. The task set to the group will be to identify patient questions that haven’t been asked, research projects that should be targeted, and other practitioners that should be engaged.
Following this forum, we aim to create our first symposium hosting both patients and practitioners (a “Hypnic Jerking Zoomposium”).
