Avatar f tn Looks like sleep paralysis. Sleep on your sides.
Avatar m tn It sounds like it could be sleep paralysis to me. I do that all the time. I thought it was "night terrors." I'm fully aware of everything around me, can hear and everything but can't scream out, can't move, nothing. I learned it was common with narcolepsy. You need to go see your primary care doctor and/or get a referral to a sleep specialist.

Avatar n tn For the past week, my son has been suffering from sleep paralysis. I don’t know if this is normal but having to deal with it for how many days is not normal anymore. My 15 year old kid kept on telling me that he’s having nightmares and bad dreams, which I don’t like. I read an article in a foreign site talking about the death of a girl who had a sleep paralysis. Please tell me what should I do. My son is at risk here. Hear me please.
Avatar f tn Physiological symptoms of sleep paralysis are the same with those of syncope. Thus, sleep paralysis is caused by syncope. For experts in cardiovascular diseases, sleep paralysis or syncope is a common symptoms of cardiovascular disease【1】. For a long time, due to the ignorance of physiological knowledge of syncope , ischemie cerebrale ,palpitations and so on, psychological illusion in people’s sleep generated by such physical symptoms i.e.
Avatar n tn I usually like doing this as i can have vivid dreams or sometimes lucid dreams. But as I think of the dreams I lose track and sometimes see only black, and the only things I feel are me trembling alot and being unable to breath or move. I try to fight it but sometimes it gets the better of me and I can't stop the oncoming of it. Honestly, its scaring the **** out of me, but I'm wondering if this is normal and I should just stop, or I should see a doctor.
Avatar m tn Hi, suffered sleep paralysis for decades now. No voices etc, just paralysis. WHY doesn't the medical world take an interest in this phenomena, which is more common than I think is believed? It is left to the realm of cultural myths, alien abduction theories, generalized medical mumbling about anxiety - the definition of anything they do not understand or think will get them into trouble by not investigating.
Avatar f tn What you are experiencing is called sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations. Sleep paralysis happens when you start to wake out of a dream but your brain wakes up while your body is still paralyzed (during REM or dream sleep you are paralyzed so you wont hurt yourself acting out your dreams). The hypnogogic hallucinations are related. Do you have panic attacks or narcolepsy by any chance? My doctor told me both those problems make your specific sleep problems more likely.
12594947 tn?1426138835 re inquiring about meds to treat insomnia, early awakening, night terrors, sleep paralysis/hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or what? Also, alcohol has no therapeutic use in sleep medicine. In fact, sleep specialists recommend that people wish sleep disorders minimize their alcohol intake, and never drink before bedtime as that can cause a disordered type of sleep (even if it subjectively seems like it's "helping" you sleep).
Avatar f tn The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an entity called sleep paralysis. When this happens in sleep the person has difficulty moving his hands or feet. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior.
568812 tn?1379165794 All I knew is that it seemed so real and I would keep the lights on. I had the sleep paralysis also where I was trying to move but could not and trying to say, "Help" but the words would not come out. It was frightening. I would often recite the Lord's prayer. My daughter though has also had the paralysis in her sleep, so not sure if it is PSTD associated alone as she did not have the abusive childhood I did.
Avatar n tn s probably hypnagogic hallucinations - i have the kind upon waking called hymopotic or something although very very similar / also have sleep paralysis with this!!
Avatar f tn Some of what you describe does sound like descriptions of sleep paralysis. An occasional episode shouldn't make you feel so tired every day no matter how much sleep you get. It may be that you have more than one thing going on. Life and it stresses can cause odd things but I wouldn't just write this off as stress. And certain illnesses can cause fatigue (hypothyroid, diabetes, anemia).
Avatar f tn Lately i have been having some very very extreme episodes of sleep paralysis. It started a little over two weeks ago and its getting worse. I will lay in bed and fall into this really relaxed position (I have a sleeping disorder, so its hard to be relaxed in bed) and I have been having theses dreams that im laying in my bed kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs because im trying to move but i just can't. i fight to open my eyes and i scream hoping that something will come out.
Avatar n tn what makes sleep paralysis happen? what can i do to reduce the risk of suffering sleep paralysis? what medication is avalible for this disorder? how effective is it? how does it help? i would be very gratefull to hear off you.
Avatar f tn We also seem to process information we acquire during our waking hours through our dreams. As for sleep paralysis, quite normal. We all go through it every night during the REM dream stages of sleep.
Avatar f tn i tried to go bck to sleep after i checked the clock but when my eyes were halfway shut it would look like my brother is floating , im too scared to go back to sleep . when i was younger i used to have dreams of family members chasing me and trying to kill me . or dreams where id walk out of one room with a family member in it and walk into another one with the same family member and not knowing which one was the "good one" . sorry this is so long !!

Avatar f tn Also, some of the aspects of REM sleep that normally occur only during sleep—lack of muscular control, sleep paralysis, and vivid dreams—occur at other times in people with narcolepsy." [wiki] did it start all of a sudden and when?
Avatar f tn My issues have waxed and waned over the years although I am happy to report no more sleep paralysis.. Sleep paralysis is associated with narcolepsy to some degree. I feel it can often be brought about by stress/panic. Try sleeping on your stomach instead, this may resolve your sleep paralysis completely. Personally, I didn't like the things I saw or felt, so I would wake myself up as fast as possible... God bless.
Avatar f tn Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to REM atonia, the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. When it occurs upon falling asleep, the person remains aware while the body shuts down for REM sleep, and it is called hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis.
2143567 tn?1342539031 Here the person experiences symptoms of bad, frightening dreams which interfere with his sleep schedules. Disorders related to dreaming could occur with REM sleep behavior disorders. Here the person acts out the dreams. This can be assessed by a sleep questionnaire and therapy is based on the severity of symptoms. If it persists or is troublesome consult your doctor for assessment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I know dreams become a lot more vivid during pregnancy, but I've never heard of a case this severe. You might be best to ask your doctor if there are any meds safe for pregnant women to help with this problem. I wish you the best!
