Question: While I was in college 11 years ago I started experiencing what I imagine is sleep paralysis.
If I fell asleep or napped during the day I would have the sensation that I was waking up and moving to get up only to find that I was still asleep and unmoved from my sleeping position.The feeling of moving to get up and then realizing I was still in the same position would happen over and over until I actually came to and was able to get up and move around. I never heard voices or saw images but it was still frightening to feel that I was awake but could not move.I still experience the same paralysis on occasion but not as frequently as I did while in college.
