Possibility...: Is this happening as you are falling asleep and/or as you are waking up? If so, this could be happening because you are waking up during REM sleep paralysis. During REM sleep, your body becomes paralyzed, this way you don't act out your dreams. But, in some people, they become aware while entering or exiting REM sleep. It can be very scary. If this happens, try moving your eyes in every direction.
