May I ask why you think this? " It means you are clearing up energy pathways that either laid dormant or are blocked."

I know that myoclonus (hypnic jerking) is more common with people who have irregular sleeping patterns, and often happens when on the verge of entering hypnagogia. While attempting to "AP" using this method, he might not lose bodily alertness before the mental state has set in. Fleeting/abrupt thoughts and feelings that come beforehand will often provoke a muscle jerk/twitch if your body is not yet relaxed (or paralysed).
