can't I move when I wake up

Used to get sleep paralysis with scary "visions" a lot. Now I just get the paralysis. Happened about 10 times in a row last. Kept falling to sleep and waking up.
 
I also get this.
I used to have visions, but now it's just not being able to move.

Once I woke to this, only being able to move my eyes, I could see that my brother was in my room on the spare PC, I tried to make a noise, even breath harder but could not get his attention, gave up and went to sleep again ( I already knew what was happening so I didn't panic) All I could do was look around and blink.

He said he once saw me do this but I wouldnt react to anything.

It's lasted as long as 10seconds to having to fall asleep again and.. (hope) it goes away! :O
 
i used to get this quite a bit, woke up but couldn't move. also kind of felt like i had this heavy weight on me holding me down. was really quite scary

not happened to me for a while now though
 
I used to have sleep paralysis a few times when i was about 21. It would last maybe 10-15 seconds then i could move again.

This happened to me last night/this morning. Got woken up suddenly but could not move a muscle except for my right foot slightly. When I moved it, I thought I could feel someone/something lying in bed next to me - which was rather odd since I sleep alone. Lasted for what felt like about 10 mins, bascially me lying there panicking that some mad rapist had climbed into my window and was sleeping next to me. Then, I got a text message and the sound of the phone beeping woke me up proper. Turns out that said 'mad rapist' was a sock in my bed. How freaky!
 
Not particularly happened to me. Don't usually get up instantly after waking, but thats just because I'm tired and lazy :p
 
I used to get it quite often, but haven't had an episode for years now. I would never get it at night - just when napping during the day. While paralyzed I used to get the sensation that there was somebody standing in the door watching me, which is apparently a very common phenomena with SP. Freaked me out the first time it happened - I thought I was having a seizure!
 
I've only had it once, was like 4 in the morning. Didn't have any visions at all, I panicked a little at first, but luckily I had read about it relativity recently, so knew what it was. Strangely as soon as it finished, I started breathing really hard, and had to get a glass of water before I managed to get back to sleep.
 
i sometimes get it, nothing to worry about. for me it seems to happen after sleeping for a long period, then waking up briefly then sleeping again, lasts a few seconds for me, have banged my head once or twice from moving around like crazy.

Has anyone woken up having slept on your arm and you can move properly but your arm is completely dead and floppy. That is weird!
