Sleep Paralysis.
I'm certain many people have experienced this before. The sense that there is a presence in the room yet you have absolutely no power whatsoever to do anything about it. Or even having difficulties breathing because you feel as if someone's or something's pressing hard against your chest. Or having creepy crawlies running around your body as you lay down helplessly trying to beat them away. Yes, I'm sure everyone has gone through this nightmare atleast once in their lives.
To better understand what the body is going through during sleep paralysis, here's a few words that not many people would understand.
Sleep paralysis: A frightening form of paralysis that occurs when a person suddenly finds himself or herself unable to move for a few minutes, most often upon falling asleep or waking up. Sleep paralysis is due to an ill-timed disconnection between the brain and the body.
The symptoms of sleep paralysis include sensations of noises, smells, levitation, paralysis, terror, and images of frightening intruders. Once considered very rare, about half of all people are now believed to experience sleep paralysis sometime during their life.
Okay, I got the above from this website
