what kind of seizure i am having (pls read details)?
sometimes, once in a day, mostly when i'm about to sleep or already sleeping or just laying on a bed, i feel my muscles kinda stiffen suddenly, just once, not like a real seizure which seems like electrocuted. in my case, it only happens in a blink of an eye, but pretty shocked anytime it happens, and sometimes can even wake me up from sleep.
i read articles and explanations about seizures like "tonic" and "clonic" seizures, the tonic one seems like the milder version, but even so it says it could happen for 20 seconds while for me it's only for a split second. so i'm confused as to what kind of seizure i am having. is it still a tonic but (perhaps) the mildest symptom?

That's not a seizure. Its a sleep phenomenon called a hypnic jerk.

not sure what that is , but i don't think its a seizure . I have seizures and those symptoms dont seem like one. I lose consciousness and am out of it for a while after I have one . but only a doctor could tell you, make an appointment with one.
