It's been happening for years but only once in a while... these past few months however i can count on it happening every time i wake from any sleep, a full night or just a nap. i hate it i am always uncomfortable in the position i am stuck in, even if im in a totally normal position, i feel hot and often panic a little that i wont wake up even tho i know i probably will. if i try to move little body parts like fingers i become extrmemly exhausted and out of breath, i cannot control my breathing, when i finally can move i have to get up and out of bed cause i feel like i will slip right back into the paralysis...
