That's your body still in protective mode.
It is to prevent you from acting physically to your dreams. Like trying to fly out your window or kicking some rogue and in real life breaking your foot on the wall.
you are a zombi
You are obiously dead. Or you will be soon if you don't stop selfmedicating.
Its a very common thing, its just your mind being active before your body responds.
In most cases people who suffer from this sleep deeper and have very relaxing sleep.
What? thats crazy.... should you see a doctor?
because your mind is much faster than your body, so your mind wakes up and is already functioning before your body actually does.
Its called sleep paralysis. V. common. Find out more at the Sleep Council's website (you'll have to Google it.)
Vivid imagination.
Oh! I've heard about that on discovery Channel. It's because your not fully awake, and your mind has awaken before your body. That happens to me sometimes too. Your not alone. =D
This is called sleep paralysis
it is quite frightening
loads of stuff on the internet about this...
This used to happen to me. It used to freak me out. Then someone suggested I just go with it & see if I can travel outside my body (astral travel). If you are able to separate your consciousness from your physical self, it is a very useful tool.
I get it all the time. Its obviously something to do with part of your brain which tells you to move your body. It probably takes a while to kick in when you first wake up.
It's a really rare occurence and happens when your body still thinks its asleep and cannot move. I heard it affects 1 or 3 (cant remember) % of the population. There's not much you can do about it. A rare occurence only if it happens every time...or so I heard.
called sleep paralysis and is quite common
It's called sleep paralysis. I have it too. Setting regular sleep patterns helps. After I stopped working the evening shift, and went to day shifts, I haven't had as many episodes. It's very scary when it happens.
I also take medicine to help me sleep and it is just a side affect of the medication. Your brain is the first thing that wakes in the morning and it controls everything else. So if your brain is slow to wake then the rest of you will be even slower.
My wife has the same problem (no this isn't a joke.LOL) especially if she sleeps during the day. If you find out please email me in the normal way because it's really starting to freak her out!
It's called sleep paralysis. When you are asleep you are paralysed so you don't act out your dreams. This isn't so strong with sleepwalkers. But sometimes we awake before our bodies adjust. It's scary but just wait and it'll wear off.
Ya, I responded to two similar questions some weeks ago. Happens to me. I've crawled up from a dead sleep to concienceness and was physically paralized until my auto-system kicked in.
Different parts of our brain can wake up at different times. Most people have had this happen at one time or another. Some people can wake in this order nearly every time. It's not unusual or harmful.
When the opposite occurs.. your body wakes up and your conscious brain stays asleep it's called sleep walking.
We "paralyze" ourselves when we sleep to keep us from acting out our dreams.
This is were the idea of alien abductions originated. It is sleep paralysis and it is very scary if you do not know what it is.
Same thing happens to me too
Ah yes.. Happens to me too.
I try to move a leg or arm and it moves very slowly or not at all.
So I just count to 5, and then I quickly jolt and it awakens my body.

I put a question up here called 'Sleep Paralysis?' Have a look at the answers I've been given (I've had 11 answers) I'm sure you'll find something interesting for yourself.
As many people have stated, it's sleep paralysis and it can be quite scary if you don't know what's going on. Because your brain is in a "different mode" i.e. awake, but not fully in control of the rest of your body, you can also experience sounds and sensations differently. Hence the claims of alien abduction - the sound of a clock ticking can be magnified by your confused brain and turned into something horrible like a screaming noise. Once you know what it is and it's just your body playing games, it tends to go away on it's own. I experienced it twice 10 years ago and it freaked me out, then i read up on it and i haven't experienced it since.
you should stop taking the sleeping pills
they are adding to your problem
what you have is very common
shut your eyes and relax
Not sure if I read your question correctly but I'd say:
Upon waking or returning to consciousness the hearing is the first sense to kick in. Conversely, when we fall asleep, become unconscious, or die, it is the last sense to go. That's why you should be careful what you say around post operative people, those in a coma, or those who are dying.
Sleeping tablets are strong, and I find even "Night Nurse" makes me feel groggy and drugged up upon waking in the morning. They might be the problem?
maybe you are self medicating a little to much , try skipping the pills for a few days.
