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.

Sleep paralysis Is normal when in REM (Dreaming mostly there) sleep. It is unusual that you wake up before the paralysis passes. But, I think you do not have to worry that you can't wake up.
I have never experience what you describe, but I have lots of weird dreams that I remember long enough to keep me awake and depressed during periods up to an hour or more before I fall back to sleep.

I also have very poor memory, extremely vivid and realistic dreams (often nightmares), exceptional dream recall, regular sleep paralysis (sometimes several times in a week), lots of lucid dreaming and learning difficulties. I don't suffer from migraines often (twice or three times a year at worst), but when I do I have some strange symptoms. Dark spaces make it worse while exposure to light eases the pain slightly.

Hello. For a few years now there have been times when as I'm falling asleep, it feels like someone grabs gives my leg a hard pull (it happened last night, actually). And there are other times when if I'm having a dream, and something in my dream makes me anxious, I can feel myself start to wake up,or I'm aware that it's a dream (or both), and I fully wake up to my heart racing.
I have been suffering with hypnopompic Sleep Paralysis- I wake up, usually from a day-time nap, unable to move or talk. I always brushed it off as a dream until it lasted for about an hour, I fell on the floor and was found there. During this time of Paralysis i got overheated, excessive sweating, and couldnt stop biting my tongue. These episodes have started up again recently, and occur more often. Does anyone know if this a side effect of any of the above medications.
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.

I am doubting it all I always, always wake up as do you. With no injuries. No evidence that it was real, because it isnt. Just complete silence and everything as it was. Its the brain getting confused. Its ok. You are ok. I promise you.

Hi all,
The other night, I went though what I believe to have been a moment of sleep paralysis. It was in the morning when I had woken up too early and tried to get back to sleep for another hour or so. I can't really describe, but I felt like I had a concious control over my dream, like I was aware of what was going on during it. Well, it turned into a nightmare where I was drowning and the next thing I knew I felt as though I was paralyzed.
Thus, sleep paralysis is caused by syncope. For experts in cardiovascular diseases, sleep paralysis or syncope is a common symptoms of cardiovascular disease【1】.

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.
Your chest muscles are very hard to move so it feels like you are being choked but you are not. You are just in a dream state and in a normal state of paralysis, evolved probably to stop us acting out our dreams. The difference with us is for some reason we become conscious during this time, while the message to paralyze us is still being sent by the brain. Some brilliant scientific boffin please do a doctorate on this and tell us WHY?
Nobody but sufferers appreciate the absolute horror of sleep paralysis. A lot of us get it very occasionally. I sympathise with you fully as I get it most nights sometimes twice a night, and it is always terrifying. I just get the paralysis, but the other sensations are also very common in many people. What has happened is that your mind has woken or continues to be awake as your body enters a sleep state.
How bizarre, my step sister called me this morning telling me she woke up 2 minutes before her alarm because in her dream someone walked down the hallway, into her room, sag beside here and was staring at here and breathing on her face and she was halfway waking up and could feel the bed moved and the breath moving her hairs rythmically.
