So last night, I was dead tired and went to bed and in the middle of the night, I couldn't tell if I had woken up or was dreaming but I couldn't move my body at all. I tried hard to move but I was just stuck. I thought maybe I was asleep and tried to get myself to wake up but I couldn't even do that. I did eventually regain function again.
I don't usually get this sort of sleep paralysis but I do on occasion. People say it's the brain being awake while the body is asleep. Others say it's demons holding you down on the bed. I've heard some people hallucinate and hear voices while experiencing this as well but I'm skeptical on this whole thing being a supernatural idea.
Anyone else experience this? It's scary.

I actually had this last week when I napped in the evening. Was an odd twenty minutes, thought I'd been asleep for hours.

I have had it once, must have been for a good 10 minutes, it was very odd, I was hallucinating when I did it too (about the Devil), and was in pain, I eventually regained function. So odd. I hope it never happens again.

I had it one time that I can remember, and it was probably the most legitimately terrifying thing I can ever remember happening to me.

Sleep paralysis happens every time we go to sleep so we keep from harming ourselves or anyone else. On some occasions people wake while they are still in that state. Some may be wide awake while others may be still somewhat dreaming. There is nothing supernatural about it.

I've never had any weird sleep-related issues (that I can remember), though I've heard horror stories about people experiencing a sort of sleep paralysis during an operation or medical procedure.

I've had this happen to me before, and trust me it's not easy getting up while in a sleep paralysis. I tired opening my eyes and they stayed shut so, I tired it again and I got up.

I get some mild sleep paralysis thing at times,usually in the middle of the night. Basically I wake up to turn over and go back to sleep,but my body drifts asleep straight away while my mind is still aware,and I often start hallucinating a little. It lasts a few seconds before I manage to wake my body up. Its quite scary.

I don;t know if its the same thing, but i often wake up with one arm totally numb and no function whatsoever, so i have to pick it up with my other hand(it feels really creepy) and once it happened with both. what a predicament that was.

I encountered this once. I remember the dream aswell (something about a murder in the family) then suddenly woke up and couldn't move. Was a terrifying experience.

Thats some really creepy stuff. I havent had this happen to me(That I can remember) But I do remember a friend telling me about having really weird issues sleeping and waking up without being able to move. Guess thats what she was talking about.

It's happened to me once or twice when I was about 11. I woke up and couldn't move, I just thought I wasn't putting enough effort in it and that I was still half asleep. I then started feeling creaped out like all these demons were going into me after a few minutes it stopped. But since then I have had behaviour issues and started doing alot of stupid shit.

I have a mild form of sleep apnea, so this happens to me once every few weeks or so. It's gotten to the point where I know it's happening and it doesn't really phase me at all. When it started, though, it was pretty intense: like others I had hallucinations, like Anvil Fan, some of them were Satanic or demonic. Some of them even involved sharp stinging pains, some of them had the sensation of intense burning.
It's a very frightening experience, but it can honestly happen to anyone. It's just one of those random sleep phenomenons. I've heard that people who go to bed very, very tired or people with other sleeping problems (such as myself) are more likely to experience sleep paralysis, though.
Strangely, 9/10 times this happens to me I also go through several false awakenings, which is another sleep phenomenon that involves you dreaming that you're awake. For me, it usually involves getting out of bed or turning on my bedpost lamp only to immediately be back in bed with the light off, then the process repeats for a while.
