See below: It can be frightening to have sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis, if often, usually indicates disruption of sleep and it can point to an underlying medical issue such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. So, its recommended you consult a sleep medicine specialist to discern if this is the case, especially if excessive daytime sleepiness is present. Hope that helps!
