The scariest thing ever happened to me last night?!?!?

It happens me quite often. Sleep Paralysis. I've heard it when the brain wakes before the body. Its scary but its normal. Don't worry.

When you sleep, your brain emits a chemical that stops your body from moving. It usually wears off before you are even aware that you are awake. However, in some cases, you become aware right away, and your body doesn't have time to filter out the chemical, leaving you paralyzed for a few seconds.

Your body actually does get paralyzed when you sleep. It is your body's way of protecting itself especially while you are dreaming so that you don't flare around and get hurt. it is normal and safe. Some peole wake up just before it wears off but there is nothing wrong. It has been happening your whole life without you even knowing it so try not to worry. I hope this was helpful.

Its a disorder probaly will last to your thirtys. No need to worry its just that you see stuff. Ive heard of people with the same thing just dont go to bed like 12 and wake up early. Its easy just do it even though your a insomniac. Hopefully this helps and I hope it goes away earlier then 30. Thanks for your questions!

That's normal. Subconsiously, your mind was awake, but your body sort of haden't recieved the massage yet. It's okay, don't be afraid to go to sleep again. It probably won't happen again.

Thats totally normal and nothing to freak out about. Sometimes your brain wakes up before your body and it takes some time for your body to wake up.

when you sleep, your brain kind of disconnects from your body to keep you from acting out your dreams. not literally disconnects, but it like, turns your body off.

if you wake up shocked and too suddenly, it can cause this because your brain doesnt reconnect as quickly as your body reacts to you waking up.

dont worry this happens to alot of people

its sleep paralysis

basicly your mind has regained conciousness before your body

my friends who have experienced this say its like someone is sitting on top of them

Yeah, that is completely fine, it has happened to me a few times before, also. your mind sometimes wakes up before your body. this usually happens to me when i am sleeping very deeply. the first time this happened to me, i was scared also. :)

usually, your body wakes up before your mind, which is why this doesnt happen to you. but once in a while, your mind will wake up first. dont worry, it is normal. :)

please help me with mine!: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuzWV...

Your body was just waking up, I'm sure you were just still half asleep.

You were awake mentally but physically your body was taking it's good old time waking up. Don't worry about it.
