Sleep paralysis is a form of 

paralysis that occurs when a person suddenly finds himself or herself


unable to move for a few seconds or a few minutes, most frequently this happened when falling
asleep or waking up.

Sleep paralysis typically is characterized by an inability to move the limbs, body, or head and an
inability to speak, with the affected person being completely aware of the paralysis.

In some instances, this episode is accompanied by hallucinations. Individuals may experience seeing,
hearing, or sensing another being or object nearby. It also can trigger Lack of sleep, disrupted sleep,
and stress

This can affect individuals of any age, and many people experience an episode at some point in their
lifetime. Teenagers and young adults and persons with certain psychiatric disorders,
including narcolepsy and post-traumatic stress disorder, occasionally experience episodes of sleep
paralysis on a somewhat regular basis.
