Sleep paralysis: Develop better sleeping habits to get better sleep. Try to go to bed at the same time each night. Don't read or watch TV in bed. Exercise during the day and not at night. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and sweets at night. Sleep on your side. Meditate or do aroma therapy before bed. Discuss these issues with a sleep specialist.

Sleep paralysis: Sleep paralysis is not unusual. While frightening, it's not serious. During dreams our body blocks impulses from the brain to the spinal cord; otherwise, when dreaming about walking etc. you'd actually do it. In this case the paralysis kicks in before you are fully asleep. See http://bit.ly/1ubNpKG & http://dreamstudies.org/2010/04/29/9-ways-to-wake-up-from-sleep-paralysis/ for good advice.
