I've had episodes of sleep paralysis for 12 years. I'm completely in the dark about what causes it, but my symptoms are identical to those mentioned in these other messages posted. It's so comforting to know that this problem might be recognized by medical professionals! Iv'e noticed that I usually get this paralysis when I sleep on my back...I thought it might have something to do with my spinal cord. Then somebody mentioned something creepy about voodoo and stuff like that! Then I thought: "Oh God....what if it has something to do with alien abduction!" (^_^) ha, ha! .....anyway, it's a horrible feeling, especially if I'm sleeping alone while my husband is away on business. We have a pact that when he hears me whimpering during the night, he has to make me snap out of it because that means I'm having an episode. I'm sure my folks think I'm cracking up! I sleep with an amulet around my neck "just incase". People say that what I'm having is a nightmare, but that's totally not true because sometimes I've been able to see my alarm clock and the correct time WHILE it's happening. It's spooky, and I hate it. Please tell me why it happens if you know the reason....and why does it feel as if it's related to some evil force.
