Have you ever been in bed and you can open your eyes but you can't move at all?

Question

I know its a weird question but really, it is starting hit me already, because this didnt happen once but in my life time (am 26 years old) it has happened over 30 times already.

This is what happens, I go to sleep, my brain is very sharp and conscious in other word i know whats going on, Then all of a sudden I hear a very loud and increasing static noise RIGHT in my hear yes AND ITS INCREDIBLY LOUD, its so loud that scares me. Then after that I can't move a finger but I can open my eyes and I can see my room but only in a fixed position, in other words I cant move my eyes around. I swear I try hard to move but its impossible, then what I do is that I close my eyes because I can't take the noise, and after like 15 seconds (and I know it havent lasted more than a minute THANKS GOD) it goes away and the noise goes and I can move again.
I am throwing this here because i want to know if there is anybody that been there or you know something about it, that can help me out. Thank You

Answer 1

This is a very real condition it is Temporary Sleep paralaysis. While your body is in a resting state your mind is still some what awake and somewhat in rem sleep. However, sometimes you eyes and some of your mind is in tune but not completely functioning to what is going on in the outside world. This happens a lot when people are very stressed such as myself, when I was separting from my daughters father an my child was only 3 months old. There are sleep clinics that can help you over come this, it is very frightening as I know through experiance. I would talk to your doctor about it, because I am assuming you are not getting a full nights rest.

Answer 2

I too suffer from this on occasion. Only with me is I can see and hear what is going on around me but I can't move nor speak. At first I used to panick. But after several episodes I realized that if I just force my self to sleep, I end the episode and the panick. When I wake up I still remember what happened. Another strange thing that happens to me is that sometimes when I'm sleeping I can feel the bed shake. The shaking wakes me up, however when I look around I can't see anything. I ask my husband if he felt anything and he always says no. Sometimes the shaking stop when I get up, but mostly it continues. I wonder sometime if it is all in my mind, but is sure seems real to me.

Answer 3

Yes i have experienced the same thing, but the only difference is that i don't hear a loud noise.When it happened to me i thought i was woke, but when i tried to get up i couldn't it was like someone was holding me down but my eyes was open and i could see things in my room. I tried to scream but i couldn't and about a minute later i could move again. I told my mom about it and she told me about an old saying, that when you sleep on your stomach witches come and ride your back. I don't know if that's true or not but it has happen to me plenty of times, so u are not by yourself.

Answer 4

sure. i do no longer imagine it really is dream. Your eyes are open seem ya purely awoke, and are paralized can bypass 30-60 seconds then you are ok and awaken. this Sound like you. That happined to me like 10 circumstances, idea it became a dream. yet after watched a educate on t.v this happins to many ppl. once you sleep your mind paralizes your body, now you've woken and are nevertheless non everlasting unable to bypass docs now about this and maximum ppl this happens to a minimum of once and a lengthy time period. it really is common no longer situation. Been Yeats in view that that has happined to me. yet I experinced this about 10 time round.
