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

Get diagnosed: Sleep paralysis can be part of narcolepsy, and this disorder can be successfully controlled. Seek out a sleep specialist, maybe go through overnight sleep latency study. Various medications can help immensely.
