Sleep Paralysis: Frank, although I am not sure from the description you provide, it is possible you are talking about sleep paralysis which can occur with narcolepsy, severe sleep deprivation, obstructive sleep apnea (untreated) and other sleep disorders. Consider discussing these symptoms with your primary doctor, and possibly requesting a referral to a sleep specialist. Good Luck and Stay Healthy!
