Did you ever feel like you woke up and not being able to move a bit? Like you got paralyzed and unable to move even your finger and can't speak a word for a while. It happens due to stress, anxiety, or depression. It's a sleeping disorder and named sleep paralysis by researchers. And researchers say almost everyone experiences sleep paralysis at least once in their life. It is a very terrifying experience. Today I'm going to share my experience of sleep paralysis. When It happened for the first time, I was in my high school. I remember on that day I was very tired and just wanted to sleep. It was almost noon when I went to bed. After a good sleep of half an hour suddenly I woke up. And felt like I am stuck to the bed. I was trying to getting up and thought I succeeded but after a second I found myself in the same position from where I started. My eyes were open and I could see everything but I was unable to move my body. I was so scared and tried to scream but it felt like I have no voice. Suddenly I started to feel that my feet were becoming cold, like they were getting freezed. I was crying in my mind watching my wall clock ticking. I started praying to God. I felt like, I was no more and this was the last day of my life. Suddenly someone came to the door and knocked. After his/her many tries and some loud voices suddenly my mind was able to control my body and its muscle again. And I got up from the bed and I was feeling very light and amazing like I got a second life. When I went to the door there was no one, the person who knocked went from there after so many tries. I'm thankful to him/her. And from then I started to experience this terrifying dream so often. I consulted my family doctor and he advised me to stay calm and keep stress at bay. He told that I can treat this sleeping disorder by myself by cutting off my tensions and stress and by staying calm, taking proper sleep and a healthy diet. This incident happened 2 years ago. And now I'm still working on my mental stress but I usually experience sleep paralysis at least once in six months or less.
