Sleep paralysis is when your mind wakes up but your body stays asleep. You can’t move, talk, or scream. It lasts for seconds—or minutes.

During REM sleep, your body is paralyzed to stop you from acting out dreams. But sometimes, your brain wakes up before your body does. That’s when it happens.

Many people see dark figures standing near the bed. Some feel watched. Some feel like the figure is sitting on their chest. It feels real—even though it’s not.
