Not Al, but it might be that bone-domed singer out of Midnight Oil*...

At last, a name for them.
I long ago decided that hypnic jerks were natural and not harmful. It often happens when I doze off watching the TV.
My biggest worry was that someone might be watching me while it happened. I wouldn't like anybody to think I had the same disease as that Midnight Oil bloke.
Sure Skeeter, but can you sing. You know.....nannng, nannnng, nannnnng, nannnng, schtummm, schtummmmm etc. Mehaul.
I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, Mehaul, but an old lady once asked me for an encore after my miming to a Cliff Richards record.
I have these ALL the time. I want to say it started about a year ago but recently got worse to where my spouse will no longer sleep in the same bed and fears i may go into a seizure. I never realized how big of a problem it was until he mentioned it. :(
