try reading about sleep paralysis, it has happened to me before and scared the crap out of me until i found out what it was.. it's basically the opposite of sleepwalking so your mind wakes up but your body is still asleep.

Sounds like you're hypoglycemic (low blood sugar.) When you eat too much sugar your blood-sugar level soars up, then spikes and drops lower than it was before you ate the sugar...this causes the body's response of distress. Don't eat sugary things at night, instead go for fruit and vegetables and things like unaged cheese...protien is a good way to avoid wild swings in blood-sugar.
Also I would get some bloodwork done if I were you...talk to your doctor about what's happening. They may be able to recommend a diet plan or other suggestions such as exercise etc.

YESSSSS!!!!

This does happen to me. I am sensitive to sugar levels. I am NOT diabetic but I have normally low blood sugar. If I eat a sudden dose of sugar, in about 20 minutes I start to sweat, shake and feel dizzy. Same symptoms as you...the severity depends on how MUCH sugar I ate. A real bad attack can make me disoriented and I feel like I am about to faint. A light attack is just a little sweat and 30 minutes later I am fine.

But when I have a bad attack the best way to treat it is by eating MORE sugar. So those rare nights when I wake up with your symptoms I have learned to go to the kitchen and eat or drink something high in sugar like a glass of orange juice or a tablespoon of honey. The sugar quickly gets absorbed and returns my blood sugar to something normal. Afterwords I feel tired but okay. I quickly fall back to sleep and feel great the next day.

Best thing is to learn when NOT to eat the sweets and avoid this sugar imbalance. You may have a similar blood chemistry. Best to consult a doctor though.

It might be sleep pralysis. Look it up. Its happened to be before. HEres a little quick lesson on it.

When you sleep your body releases a chemical which teporarily parlyizes you to keep you from acting out your dreams (people with too little of this chemical sleepwalk) anyways, a lot of times when you take meds or are sleep deprived, you will wake up from sleep but your body makes a mistake....it forgets to stop producing this chemical that paralyzes you. IT can be a very scary experience.....I would look it up and learn more about it before you determine that this is what is happening to you.

You may be getting hypoglycemic - the opposite of diabetic. When you eat sugar, you create too much insulin which drops your blood sugar dangerously low. The best thing to do is see a doctor and a dietitian (sp?) and learn how to control your blood sugar level. Hope this helps!

No offense, but I found your question hard to read, you might want to write more carefully next time.

I'm not sure this is what you're talking about but this happens to me all the time. Sleep paralyis. Not harmful, just annoying. Click on the link below for more info.

I bet you are diabetic. Check with your doctor to see if you are diabetic or not. Your sugar level may be going high when you eat icecream and chocolate.

High sugar may even put you in coma. Go and see a doctor immediately.

it happens to a lot of people.. i heard of the scientific reason.. its because ur eyes are still in the rapid eye movement phase (REM) and u wake up but still sleeping.. so ur body is paralyzed and u cant move.. and some people just try to pray more after this happens.. it also works..

Have your blood tested for low sugar. That shouldn't be happening. You really need to stop eating sugar until you've been to the doctor.
