Hypnic jerks usually happen much more often to kids in the 8 to 12 year range about 3-4 times per hour, and they decrease to 1-2 in an hour from 65 to around 80 years old.
I would think that if you had an irregular sleep schedule or were tired all the time then yes, that would be the reason you are getting them. But I'm no doctor, you should probably ask your physician.
I was at my friends once for a sleepover, and that happened to me (it usually does, it's not weird) and in the morning she told me that i was screaming.
Yes it happens to me sometimes I would dream about riding a roller coaster or me simply falling and I would jerk back awake I hated it and pray I never get it again its not fun
