What Cpowill said. Get that checked out bro!! Never had that happen to me, but if I did, the next stop I would make would be the docs office.

This has happened to me once, in a way. If I told you the story some would think it was and other may believe my, more supernatural, explanation. Nevertheless it is a weird feeling and it of course can be scary. I have heard of this happening every so often but on account of how this has happened to you recently, I have to agree with the previous posts. Check with a doctor one why this may be happening and any remedies just to be safe.

More common than you'd think. If I remember correctly it has to do with your REM sleep being interrupted. I think it's often associated with fear of someone or something being in the room. I've looked into it and I don't recall it being a big deal; there are lots of triggers. Scary as hell though!!

I'm sure there is a lot of information on the internet now.

Good luck!

You need to talk to your doctor and do it soon. Your doc will probably refer you to a sleep specialist and a sleep study.

Most likely this is caused by sleep apnea or in some cases a heart condition. Both are things not to mess around with.

Lets hear it!

Well if you really want to know lol. Its a long story compiled of a number of incidents but for the sake of condensing it: For a while I was experiencing things in my house. Seeing black, man shaped shadows and just the "not alone" feeling. Yeh you could say it was just my imagination but I believe otherwise. Especially since I had a shared experience with my ex and it scared the absolute shit out of her to the point where we had to stay outside my house for an hour before she calmed down. I've always been into the supernatural and all so none of this really bothered me, in fact I found it fascinating and I kept my cool especially knowing that if it was something "evil" it would want to get a rise out of me and I believed it was judging by how it was manifesting itself. Anyway, to the sleep paralysis incident - one night while falling asleep I got that feeling of someone hovering over me. At one point I even felt slight pressure on my legs and shoulder like someone laying their hand on me. I ignored it and went to sleep. Now, I never sleep on my back - always stomach or side and I was on my side when I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night but it felt like I didn't fully wake up type thing. I was on my back, my hands were up on either side of my head and I couldn't move. I honestly felt like I was outside my body. I felt as if I was floating underneath it and I did make the conscious attempt to move even though it felt more like I was a spectator. I tried lifting my arms up but it felt like something was holding them down. Like I was able to get movement but very slight before I couldn't move them any higher. When I did this I also let out a breath like i was straining. It all seemed like me consciously doing it while at the same time I felt like I had no control of my body. It was one of the oddest experiences of my life. I knew i couldn't do much so I closed my eyes, or what felt like closing my eyes and went back to sleep and woke up the next morning still feeling very, very tired.

A supernatural thread? Ha ha, are you trying to feed bunnies to OverlanderJK. He would have a field day.

That said, I do believe in the "ghosts" and "spirits" myself, but not everyone can grasp the evidence given by others.

I believe in spirits and afterlife, but I separate these from god and religion which religion I don't believe in and god I would say its possible but I don't know. But yeh, hardest part with all of this is that it is very subjective

Although never feeling the paralysis part, I just finished with some sleep study stuff and that was one of the questions before the test. Also my wife has been in trauma and neuro for 20 years and mentioned that people can have a TIA (mini stroke) or several during the day or night without lasting effects initially that could also cause the feeling or actual temporary paralysis. Just my 2 cents.
