Occasionally when falling asleep I will become paralyzed in a state where my body is asleep but my mind is awake. It takes 10 or more seconds to try and wake up. It's a very uncomfortable feeling. Sometimes it involves the out of body feeling. For example, I'll feel as if my body is floating, or I'm lifting my arm, and once I was seeing a part of the room that I wasn't facing. I've never felt pain like someone laying on me.View Thread
