As you fall asleep? I read that this sensation of a "jolt" can and does happen to a few people on occasion as they fall asleep. From what I read it is normal.
If it is while you are completely awake, it sounds like a pinched or damaged nerve.
Slightly off-topic: the largest shock I received was 34,000 volts; took me about a half hour to quit vibrating afterward, -

Happens to me all the time. It could be a precursor to Restless leg Syndrome.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

It happens to me, not often though.
Happened a lot when I was younger when I'd just slip into sleep and in my dream I fell in a hole or something like that.
The "fall" would make me jolt and wake up.Comment

I think this is normal - it is between a wake and sleep state, I can't remember now but I'm fairly sure I read it is when your body has not quite shut down for sleep, but it thinks it has... if that makes sense!Comment

I dont have that but the joints on your vertebrae, sometimes I'll move an odd way just before falling asleep. The vertebrae will touch and send a shock/massive pain up my spine.. Hurts like hell. Good thing that the pain doesn't last long, a few seconds.
Why do these vertebrae touch? I have a degenerating and hardening disk in my lower back. But now my new doctor has me on a non narcotic muscle relaxant. This is nice. I fall asleep and dont wake up at night..Comment

It is a sign of developing "restless leg syndrome" as Steve said, which is uncontrolled electrical activity to different parts of your body.

Voltage isn't the thing you need to worry about. Amperage is where it's at!Comment

A friend of mine got nailed with 25000 volts but with a lot more current. It threw him about 40 feet through the air. He ended up in the hospital for a few days but survived.
The worst I seen was a co-worker that wore a gold chain around his neck but tucked into the front of his shirt. It fell out of his shirt when he was working, hit a bus bar and melted into his neck. He needed surgery to remove it. It is why technicians should never wear jewelry when working.Comment
