How do you know you have sleep paralysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narcolepsy: The sleep issues associated with narcolepsy include vivid nitemares, daytime sleep attacks, cataplexy, and sleep paralysis. The latter occurs when one awakens, opens eyes, and cannot move for a few seconds. Might consult a sleep specialist if this describes you.
