It's happened to me since I was about 6 haven't happened in a few months. Your body goes into sleep mode and instead of your mind going into sleep mode, it's awake, and it takes a moment for the signals to reach your body to move.
@calibeebee just relax next time getting nervous will cause your heart to pace, and shortness in breath. If your body is in paralysis mode keep composure and wait a min before attempting to move it again.
Thought I was the only one.. I swear you can find any subject on NT..
When I tell my girl about she looks at me crazy. Your right tho stay calm and ride it out
It just happens I don't think you can force it.how can one go about getting sleep paralysis? i tried to lucid dream before but i dont have the patience for it

Lucid dreaming is knowing your sleeping while in a dream giving you ability to do all types of wild ish.
Sleep paralysis is totally diff cuz ur not dreaming at all. Imagine being in a coma wide awake aware of your surroundings but not being able to move a muscle.
This is the worst lolI don't think I've ever had sleep paralysis, but have any of you felt like you were about to fall out of bed but never did?
I sleep on my stomach and have gotten it multiple times during my lifetime...Sleeping on my stomach FTW
I was in my bed, couldn't move, and I swear I was face-to-face with a ghost that looked like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Sleeping on my stomach FTW
Never had this happen but I ain't going to sleep tonight.This stuff only took place for about 15-20 seconds, but it sucks. I've heard of people getting stuck like that for several minutes to an hour, can you imagine?
damn this sounds scary as hell, i hope this never happens to me! Is this something like chicken pox that happens to practically everything or a few unfortunate bastards get this? Im going to change my sleeping patterns(hopefully) after hearing this. Luckily for me i move a lot in my sleep.
That's crazy! I would of been shook. Since I saw this thread today I've been looking info up on sleep paralysis and people have some crazy stories. I've personally have had some crazy nightmares while dealing with this too. Science doesn't have a lot of answers when it comes to sleep paralysis and why people from all different cultures always relate sleep paralysis to evil things.I have a very true story about what happened to me 7/8 years ago. What I'm about to tell you is the ABSOLUTE truth and have no reason to make up silly stories. I'm not telling you this to freak you guys out nor am I looking for "reps", this is so you guys can hear another point of view aside from the "medical" explanations. Here goes....
I used to share a room with my younger sister and she slept across the room in her own bed. My mother was having problems with my dad (eventually divorced) so she wound up sleeping with my sis in her bed. They were both sleeping when my mother said she felt someone watching her, she opened her eyes and was terrified because she saw a really dark shadow of person standing at the doorway. She figured it was just the dark messing with her eyes and so she shut them. A few minutes passed and my mother heard my sister gasp! She asked her "you saw someone at the door, huh?" and she replied in a very scared tone of voice "yes, wake up your brother". They woke me up and explained themselves to me but I was too sleepy to care. Fast forward a 2 years later and many sleep paralysis events later....
I knocked out while the lights/television were on and my sister was texting away. I kid you not, it was as if I blinked and awoke to find the room dark but what really scared the crap out of me was that even though the room was completely dark....I saw an even darker shadow of a skinny human like man standing at the side of my sister's bed!! I rolled out of bed and yelled at the same time "HEY YOU!" as I rushed this person/thing. The reaction it had was TOTAL SHOCK and I could see it got into a defensive stance instantly. We locked arms and wrestled for a few seconds but it was too strong for me and tossed me and I mean TOSSED ME into the dress cabinet. I hit the floor and I didn't feel pain but I remember my eyes shutting and seeing "it" just stand there looking at me. I woke up and again it felt as if I just blinked. Maaannnn, next thing I hear is my sister half crying telling me she had a bad dream just now. I was still in shock from what I went through so I let her explain herself. She told me she was dreaming that a man or something was trying to pull her off the bed and that she was calling me to wake up and save her!!! She said she awoke half off the bed!! I was goosebumped like crazy. I let her finish and told her what I had just went through and she was terrified to the point where she did not sleep well for the rest of the night. I can't blame her because I didn't either. We didn't have anymore "sleep paralysis" after that incident but I read up on similar experiences and it seems these "Shadow People" as they're called are somehow related to sleep paralysis.
All I'm saying there's a lot of thing we don't know about or understand about what really happens in our sleep/dreams. Again, please don't think I'm typing this for fun/giggles. Just thought I'd add to this topic.
