I wonder if it was a hypnic jerk. Brains are weird so maybe your brain made it feel like instead of just jerking in bed (that's what she said) you had fallen and the sense of hitting the cushions was you landing. I know I get hypnic jerks every few months and they always startle me.
I get this falling feeling very regularly, like nearly nightly. You get used to it and now itβs like an indicator for me that Iβm about to fall asleep.
