Has this ever happened to you? You try to run, but you feel constrained and held back. You try to yell out, but your words won't come out intelligibly. You are gripped by fear. Your heart beat heightens as your breath shallows. You are trapped, immobile, paralyzed. Then you are awakened out of a deep sleep by a someone calling out your name repeatedly. It's called sleep paralysis, and it affects many people. Sleep paralysis may leave you feeling frightened, especially if you also see or hear things that aren't really there.
