A lot of people are referencing the jerks (hypnogogic jerks?) But what about feeling like something actually touched/tapped/fell on you and waking up and finding no evidence of that actually happening? I felt like something hit me in the neck and woke me up and I could still feel where it had touched me but I woke up so instantly that I would have certainly figured out what had hit me if it had been real.
