Your symptoms fit into the description of sleep paralysis, an alteration in the transition between the stages of sleep (rapid - eye movement or REM sleep and non-REM sleep). It can occur as you're falling asleep or as you're waking up. Causes include irregular sleep habits, stress /anxiety, psychological disorders (bipolar disorder), neurological diseases (narcolepsy), certain meds, or substance abuse. Diagnosis is based on full history +/- overnight sleep study. Mainstay of treatment is insuring adequate sleep habits and treatment of any underlying condition.
