(Tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is waking up if you are unable to move?)
It happened twice to me and still scared the heck out of me the second time. Been there, done that, can't recommend.
- mx24 7y agoI’ve also experienced this a couple times and it was terrifying. It was exactly as in the depiction on Wikipedia. A demon came over me very quickly as I laid in bed and I was unable to move.
- TheRealSteel 7y agoGot this three times yesterday. Not a fan. Probably had 4 or 500 incidents total in my life.

- gooseus 7y agoI used to get this quite a bit when I was in college and had a lot of bad sleep habits. I noticed it happened a lot more when I would take a nap or go to sleep super late. Definitely freaked me out a lot at first, but eventually I learned that fighting was futile and made it worse, while the best thing to do was surrender, relax, and just drift back to sleep a little more. Nowadays I have better sleep habits and this only happens sometimes after overnight travel, but I still usually remember what's happening and can convince the lizard brain we're not dying and to chill out until we can wake up for real.
