Sounds like you're experiencing sleep paralysis, which used to be imagined to be something like an incubus sitting on a person's chest, or in our day and age, as alien encounters. It's completely normal, and not at all supernatural.
"Sleep paralysis occurs in 30% of the general population. In it you wake up in bed, feel paralyzed, and tend to sense a terrifying presence in your room. Sometimes you see something; sometimes you hear noises or even feel electrical shocks throughout your body. I have personally seen a small humanoid during one occasion of sleep paralysis; during another, more recent one, I saw what looked like a dog in my room. Others see ghosts, vampires--whatever they have in their minds or are particularly afraid of. Deceased relatives and loved ones are particularly good candidates for showing up during bouts of sleep paralysis.
But what's really happening here, according to Harvard psychologists Richard McNally and Susan Clancy, is nothing out of the ordinary. Rather, REM sleep--the phase of sleep in which most dreaming occurs--is simply malfunctioning. In a phone conversation McNally even likened the situation to getting a case of the hiccups."

incubus attack women, succumbus attack men, if you are religious saying a prayer of protection before sleep might help, also wearing a rosary or crucifix might help, you can also seek help from a priest or medium to try and remove the spirit from your home, moving wont work it will follow

I think you've been watching to many movies Pal. If you really believe this you need to see a priest for an exorcism.

"Who knows, but he sure was happy!"
