Perhaps one of your body parts has fallen asleep?

Sometimes that happens to me.

It is normal, I've done my own research on it since my husband has it. Your brain has to make your body alseep so you don't act what you dream in your bed. I guess most people can make their body and brain asleep almost at the same time, so they don't notice sleeping body.

yes I have this happen quite often, it happened more as a child.

That happens to me, quite a few times. I have a hard time, sleeping at night, so I get such episodes, during the daytime.

Wow, that's really cool. I'd like to be able to do this.

I think it probably gets better once you know what it is. I stopped freaking out about my tendency to get sleep paralysis after I studied up on it (that's one of the "body's asleep, brain's awake" things). I mean, yeah, it's annoying, but then... meh. A bit of adrenaline never hurt anybody.

I've always had issues with sleep. I have circadian rhythm sleep disorder almost by default, and have to keep to such a strict schedule it's ridiculous. I've had chronic nightmares, and regular lucid dreams. I didn't sleep through the night as a child until I was six, and not always then. I think I've just grown to accept that my sleep is going to be weird, and learned to live with it.
