10 Narcolepsy Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Sleep Paralysis
Imagine being awake and you are completely unable to move or even speak. You can see everything around you, hear everything around you and are completely aware of your surroundings, but are unable to move a single muscle. It might sound like the stuff of nightmares, but for people with narcolepsy, it is very much a reality.
People with this condition will occasionally find they are unable to move at all, and it can last from seconds to minutes. While it is not harmful in itself, it can still be a truly terrifying experience for those with the condition. It usually happens just as they are falling asleep or when they have just woken up.
