Tie a red string around your ankle.

Sleep paralysis consists of a period of inability to perform voluntary movements either at sleep onset (called hypnogogic or predormital form) or upon awakening (called hypnopompic or postdormtal form).

Yes, I have experienced it, so have 40% of people worldwide according to what I have read. It is a phenomenon that has been around since time-immemorial.

They say it occurs when you are around the threshold of sleep and the switch in your brain that turns off muscle movement during sleep has not switched off. So, you are half-awake and half-asleep while you can't move. Your brain still has involuntary activity, which accounts for dreaming, but since you are half awake, your subconscious uses your senses to rationalize your brain activity. The result is hallucinations from many of your senses -- sight, touch, and hearing.

Religious people rationalize it as a demonic experience (of course, since their subconscious contains such thoughts). Others have rationalized UFO abductions.

Generally it occurs between adolescence and 40's. Most often it occurs when your normal sleep routine is disrupted, usually when you are overly tired or stressed.

Don't read too much into it. It just happens. And, although it is most often a very frightening experience, no one has ever died from it. Most people who have experienced it will experience it 3 to 4 times in their lifetime. Anyone who experiences it much more than that should probably visit a neurologist.
