Item description

Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It happens when you pass between stages of wakefulness and sleep. During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. You might also feel pressure or a sense of choking, or have hallucinations. Sleep paralysis may come with other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is an overpowering need to sleep caused by a problem with the brain's ability to regulate sleep.

Symptoms of Sleep Paralysis
Not all episodes of sleep paralysis are the same. There are a range of symptoms, which usually begin in your teenage years and may get worse in your 20s and 30s. Symptoms may include:

Feeling unable to move or speak (atonia)
A hard time breathing
Hallucinations, or seeing or hearing things that aren't there
Chest pressure
A sense of suffocation
Feeling separate from yourself, or out-of-body
Feeling in danger


Takeaways
Sleep paralysis can be scary and stressful, but it is not usually dangerous. You might have hallucinations as you’re falling asleep or waking up. While there are no scientifically proven ways to end an episode in the moment, some strategies seem to help. Talk to your doctor if sleep paralysis is disrupting your daily life, as it could be a symptom of something more serious.
