Question: few nights ago I woke up but i couldn't move or speak no matter how hard i tried. I tried to scream help but nothing came out. My my eyes were open but i was breathing hard like I couldn't catch my breath. I wanted to move so bad but it was like my brain wasn't getting through to my body. any explantion to why this happen or what it is?

Answers:
when you sleep your mind is still active. Your body will paralyze your body to keep it from acting out your dreams. In people who sleep walk this doesn't always work. I'm thinking that your body was still paralyzed but u woke up.
