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.
Occasionally I will wake up in the night or morning pulling in air through my nose really hard, not voluntarily, I will just wake up, sit up very fast and breathe in through my nose very hard (I assume just my nose because I do not breathe through my mouth when I sleep.
I always feel extremely dizzy, to the point where I feel nauseous, and it can leave me feeling bad for hours to come, with a headache or nausea.
Hi, this happens to me all the time. Exactly what your explaining. Last night I was laying in my bed watching a show when I suddenly realized that I was in sleep paralysis. I am completely frozen and I can't move but I can slightly rock my body or legs back and forth. This seems to help wake me up. Anyway all I think in those moments is please someone for the love of God shake me and wake me up! Then a shadow figure walked into my room and put his hand out to touch me.
And had forced myself to wake up or so I thought only to realize it was yet another nightmare inside a nightmare inside another and so on and so on. The last was I found myself in a burning trailer and knew I wasn't asleep but also knew my surroundings weren't reality and I tried to force myself to wake from this one but couldn't until my teenage daughter walked in then it seemed like I was immediately released. Like walking into a lit room from the dark.
The symptoms you describe could be caused by many things. Sometimes, a person with sleep paralysis will wake up while in REM sleep and find themselves paralyzed by the hormone that the body secrets to keep us paralyzed so that we don't physically act out our dreams. This paralysis can cause hallucinations.
Other explanations are hormonal problems, vitamin deficiencies, drug interactions, neurological issues, psychological phenomena, etc.
This is because in normal REM sleep you experience the same paralysis as in sleep paralysis; the only difference is your level of consciousness at the time. So there's no way to develop a sensor that an app could use to address this issue.

Hi, welcome to the forums, your symptoms are suggestive of rapid eye movement (REM) related parasomnias involve the intrusion of the features of REM sleep into wakefulness (eg, sleep paralysis). It is a type of sleep disorder.
Few of the individuals are known to suffer from parasomnias esp. when they are on non-benzodiazepine sedaives, drug abuse, sexual abuse etc. otherwise no definitive cause exists in few individuals apart from stress, positive past history of abuse etc.
Had a sleep study done recently, will post results on own post rather than hijack yours. Did not get paralysis on the night of the study, annoyingly, but did on the night straight after. Missed such a valuable opportunity to see what the brain is doing during an episode. Shame.
Will just churn out the theories, sorry to sound fed up, am, nothing to do with you. Idea that melatonin deficiency may be a factor....
Rather, REM sleep--the phase of sleep in which most dreaming occurs--is simply malfunctioning. In a phone conversation McNally even likened the situation to getting a case of the hiccups".
"Our bodies are paralyzed while we undergo REM sleep, and for good reason (lest we act out our dreams and injure ourselves). But in some small number of cases we can actually start to wake up before paralysis wears off, and yet still remain in a dreaming state.

What you are experiencing could be hallucinations and delusions and they can occur with certain medications, stress, sleep deprivation, in certain brain disorders and with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders. When sleep paralysis happens in sleep the person has difficulty moving his hands or feet. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. You will need to consult your primary care physician for assessment.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
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.
Last night I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time and it was terrifying. I felt like I was being tortured and heard noises but I could not talk or even muffle any sounds. I was unable to sleep for awhile before this and only slept for two hours. Yesterday was also the three year anniversary of my mothers death who I was very close to so I am sure this was not a coincidence. Is this most likely an isolated incident by stress and the situation or should I be concerned?
