I get these jerks of the body when I try to fall asleep. I get very anxious they are going to come again so I can’t sleep. What caused this and how do I prevent it from happening. Think they very streeful. Are they harmless?

I think you're describing hypnic jerks... They are caused by stress, anxiety or intoxication. I would try some relaxation techniques before you go to bed. If it happens for more then a week then I would try some sleep meds. Good luck!
