This : This might represent a form of sleep paralysis and can be a symptom of narcolepsy. You might benefit from seeing a sleep specialist.

Sleep paralysis: You are describing symptoms of sleep paralysis which is not uncommon. Generally no treatment is needed. If you have other complaints like uncontrollable urge to fall asleep during the day then see a psychiatrist or neurologist.
