Have you ever been half asleep, but ur awake and you cant move your body or talk?

Question

today i was trying to sleep, i was not fully sleeping i knew what was going on, but i couldnt open my eyes or move my body. it felt like i was loosing my breath. idk it felt weird...did this ever happen to you?

Answer 1

yes that happened da me. drugs dun it. 2 many e,s. get aff that ****.

Answer 2

well i have this also but it is quite different only a bit. it is like i dont know when it happens maybe when i am really tired. well anyways my eyes are half awake i could move it around but the rest of my body is like sleeping cant move or speak or anything. so sometimes it is hard for me to wake up from it or try to do something to wake me up. But what works for me sometimes to wake me up is that i try to breath deeply when that happens when i am half asleep and awake. i just breath deeply and all of a sudden sometimes my body will just wake up like a jolt or surprise wake up and such.

But anyways that is normal happens to me all the time not everyday but once in a week or so. but it is called sleep paralysis.

This condition occurs often. It is called Hypnagogia.

Answer 4

This has never happened to me but it's happened to my sisters friend. She was sleeping this one time and all the sudden she sort-of woke up but she couldn't move and she felt like she was having a nightmare but she was awake.

I'm pretty sure it's called sleep paralysis (like someone had said before me) but usually people who have this are almost hallucinating but they can't move their bodies, which seems absolutely terrifying to me.

There's tons of information on the internet about this disorder.

Here's a couple of good websites I have found on this topic.

Hope this helps!!

Very best wishes!!

Answer 5

it's like sleep paralysis.

i think it's when you're body "switches off" to prevent you moving in your dreams. this can happen before sleep and immediately after you wake up sometimes.
