It's called a hypnagogic myoclonic twitch or "hypnic jerk". Nobody's sure why the body does this, but people think it may be because the muscles are relaxed, and the body misinterprets it as falling. It then sends signals to jerk you back up again! It's when your body is in a subconscious state, just before going to sleep.

Sometimes it may be because you are very tired, or trying not to go to sleep, but it is normal for it to happen.

Why do you flinch when you sleep?

Yes it's very common especially in light sleep as you are still drifting into deep sleep (REM sleep), and are still physically aware of where you are. You begin dreaming as soon as you start drifting off to sleep and if anything happens to make you jump in your dream, your body will respond to it as if it were real, making you flinch. Eventually when you fall into deep sleep you don't normally flinch or jump up during dreams.
