Sleep Paralysis is a common sleep disorder, yet often one of the most frightening. Sleep paralysis occurs when we wake up mentally\u2014only to discover that our bodies still are \u201casleep\u201d\u2014and we can\u2019t move!<\/p>\n
To make matters even more confusing, our awakening from REM sleep typically is only partial. This means we tend to have long and confusing dreams about being paralyzed, and, because we feel vulnerable, we often dream of being attacked.<\/p>\n
But we can\u2019t move, nor can we cry out for help!<\/p>\n
Sound familiar? Then read on. You\u2019ll soon learn that you aren\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n
