Sleep Paralysis
Sleep paralysis is an ability to speak or move while waking, sleeping, or falling asleep. Each episode often lasts only a couple of minutes. It can also happen in many people who do not experience a sleep disorder like narcolepsy. However, many recent studies have suggested that people with narcolepsy will be at a higher risk of this condition. While sleep paralysis mimics that you often see in REM sleep, it doesn’t affect your breathing patterns or eye movements.[3]
