Unclear cause asleep: If your symptoms are related to waking up and not being able to move or talk then you could be experiencing sleep paralysis. If so then you should be checked for narcolepsy. Speak with your doctor and if he/she agrees then the study of choice is a sleep study with multiple sleep latency testing (mslt).
