Answer 1

It means that your brain isn't quite awake yet and hasn't caught up with your body?????

Answer 2

Hi I am me,

When I was 21/22 I experienced the exact same thing. Both times it happened for me in the morning as far as I can remember, and although I knew that I was awake or half-awake the sense of heaviness and a descent into a heavy consciouness made it next to impossible to get up. At least 1 time I eventually got up shortly afterwords and then my head cleared. In hind sight I now believe that whatever was happening in my brain brought this on. Two years earlier as my attempts at school and relationships sucked, a failed first love affair and being at college in Florida far away from home (alone and lonely) didn't help. For several years from age 11 I'd put on a game face in school and with girls but underneath I was screaming for some emotional help. I never was able to really and truely be myself at this age and I told no one about how distressed I was feeling. I was not even confident enough to speak up, although I was the oldest child for my parents and had two younger brothers and a younger sister. I was supposed to always be the leader and set the example, so who could I tell that I was feeling grossly insecure. So having had depression i.e. clinical depression (the result of an inward focus, being lost and occupied with myself, feeling fear I felt I could not express) as well as abnormally I believe, high levels of anxiety produced the same symptoms you have mentioned, possibly the beginnings of mental illness.

Sinse this illness can affect your relationship with others and your ability to function in school and on the job please take what I believe to be an early warning sign of severe stress to your nervous system and get your emotional life checked out. It may be nothing. See a general practioner first if convinient and then shop around for a good/experienced and compatible clinical psychologist (a psychology expert) or a psychiatrist (medical specialist) who can definately help you with any emotional or cognitive issues you may have or be facing.

Mental illness is not a curse but a blessing if you catch it early &/or recover steadily over time to a cure. Yes, it is possible to be cured of mental illness and not be on medication if not necessary nor have either a relapse of what your experiencing and also be given a clean bill of health. It's a blessing because you become a stronger person for it having been in your life and even if it produces a daily struggle, you can build up your psychological muscles, your confidence, physical &nutritional strength, coping skills etc.

It can happen quickly or wellness may take some time. I know. After 14 years of treatment, possibly because I did not receive help earlier than I eventually did, I am fully recovered/cured although I am still not completely off meds yet as tapering them off takes time and with work and other pressures, this is probably not the best time yet to do so. I have come a far way and been very successful particualrly also because of a strong Christian faith/support group, loving/supportive family and loving girlfriend and an active interest in my own health.

I remain continually optimistic that I will at an appropriate time be able to come off all my meds, continue to feel good and have a life or remain on a sufficient maintenance dosage at least for some time.

Good luck!

I am not certain what it means but I find myself in that state every once in a while (and there's no pattern I can track to help make sense of why sometimes and not others)... what I have found though is if I can catch it happening, if I am conscious just enough, that can be my most creative time... I coax myself into enough awakedness to think about issues that might be vexing me, paint pictures in my mind... have even written a poem or two and later, when fully awake, I have actually painted the pics... they compare to nothing I do when I am awake... they are totally different from my usual style...

don't waste that time... it's can be very precious

Answer 4

Exactly. Your body doesn't feel heavy, it is heavy. Your mind and body got to that point of rest that brings total relaxation. Give it a few minutes and then get up. Sometimes your body doesn't realize that the mind has woken up and takes a few minutes. Nothing wrong, just your body enjoying being relaxed and asleep

Answer 5

"Have you ever woken up only to find yourself unable to move a muscle? This is not a case of having difficulty getting up in the morning. Sleep paralysis can happen when entering sleep (hypnagogic paralysis), or when waking (hypnopompic paralysis).

For the sake of clarity it is necessary to distinguish between two kinds of sleep paralysis. The one is normal and absolutely necessary and occurs during REM sleep in order to essentially disconnect the body from the dreaming mind so that it wont thrash about attempting to enact the rigors of dream-life and hurt itself doing so."

Answer 6

You are still asleep and half dreaming. Ive done that too.

Answer 7

It means somebody walked over your grave.

Answer 8

Answer 9
