Did anyone figure out why this happened? I wonder if this would feel similar to when you sit awkwardly and your leg goes numb - it kind of feels like you're just walking on your bone. Trying to walk with a leg that's 'asleep' is quite a challenge.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI used to have that. It seems that it was the cat, laying on top of the covers. I would try to move in my sleep and be unable to, because I was moving with very little force, and it wasn't enough to overcome the cat. But I'd feel this as my limbs not responding to me. What a horrible feeling! It quit happening to me once the cat died.

- newman8r 7y agoHappened to me a ton as a kid. Now maybe I only get it once every few years. A long time ago I learned I could 'exit' sleep paralysis, and after that I actually began to enjoy it and not try to immediately exit it - it's like lucid dreaming but you're totally aware of the world around you.
