Can knowledge act as a trigger?
I watched House Season 1, Episode 2 and it mentions a myoclonic jerk, I looked it up online and a couple weeks later, I started having one just before sleep. It's irregular, that is, not every night but it got me thinking. I've never had any myoclonic jerks before now.

Can knowing of a psychological/physiological condition cause it?

Or am I suffering from a suffer case of post hoc ergo propter hoc?
Is there such common a thing as sudden-onset adolescent myoclonic jerks?
