Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which a person either during falling or awakening, temporarily experiences an inability to move, speak, or react.
It is a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, where a person experiences muscle atonia or muscle weakness. During this, a person also experiences hallucinations, inability to react, speak or move.
One hypothesis is that it results from disrupted REM sleep, which normally induces complete muscle atonia to prevent sleepers from acting out their dreams.
