Sometimes at night, when I am half-asleep, I find myself trembling. To be clear, I have these weird shivers; they come in waves of intensity. I cannot hear very well and I cannot move. Often times I am not aware of it happening until afterwards. It is usually followed by a headache. Also, sometimes when I wake up the next morning, I cannot move. This is bad, because I tend to sleep on my stomach and I am afriad I will sufficate.
Please help. This has happened several times since it started in June. I would really like to know what it is and if it is serious.
Many thanks.

It sounds to me like you have sleep paralysis because I have the same exact problem...it is said to not be serious but yeah it is very scary sometimes...to prevent this from occuring often you should try to get enough sleep at night...this is the main issue...You should get enough sleep and try to stay stress free and to not over work yourself...but this is impossible for me so I still have the issue periodically also if you over sleep (sleep longer than usual) it can be a trigger to this...when you feel ready to wake up...wake up and stay up...sleeping too long causes these issues as well for some reaso so does napping..its just iddficult to control when you actually fall asleep and end up napping...know it sounds difficult and it is a scary issue but good sleeping habits are the best key to helping this problem

Here are some questions you need to ask yourself
Do you drink alcohol before you go to bed?
Are you taking any medications?
Does anyone sleep with you?
Are you eating a healthy diet?
How many times has this happened and what is going on in your life that may cause this, I can't say for sure but it sounds emotional, and sleep therapy is available almost anywhere.

Have you taken the time to mention this to your doctor? Perhaps you should. This is not a medical group. Any answers you get will be people just like you, with all the medical experience you have. Call your doctor.

Force yourself to lie on your back or side and see if things change. You could be putting too much strain on the nerves in your neck by sleeping on your stomach.

For some reason, this scenario sounds generic. Lord, I come to you presently, asking that you be with the nephew, the mummy, and this finished relatives. tutor them mercy and love. I pray his new child survives. All in accordance with Thy Will. In Jesus' call, thanks, Father. Amen. † Comforting Prayer Warrior †

Sounds like a medical problem - maybe seizures; you need to see a physican and fast!

is there any history of epilepsy in your family. Go see a doctor there could be many causes of this and it could only get worse.
