Cannot Speak After Waking. Posted: 03-26-05 01:17am
This has only happened a few times, but I
was just curious about it and why it
happens. Ive naturally waken up with
completely numb and lifeless arms or legs,
this happens to alot of people I guess,
but I havent heard about being
speechless.
I have waken up maybe 2 or 3 times and was
completely unable to speak or even welp.
This is scary if you ask me. It makes me
think of being so afraid of something that
you can even get a welp out, but im not
afraid. I just wake up and nothing, it
takes me a few minutes to start building
up a yell, and finally its back to normal.
Its sorta like the numb arm thing.
Is this from me waking before my brain has
time to send the proper intel to my vocal
box? Did I wake prematurely before the
brain was operating fully? Any info?

This has happened to me on occasions as
well. I believe it's called sleep
paralysis. It doesn't occur very often,
so I haven't studied or sought out
treatment.
It's very unnerving to wake up and not be
able to move or speak. Sometimes it
makes me scared and sometimes I realize
the problem and simply close my eyes and
try to go back to sleep.
Some people actually have hallucinations.
Imagine being in this state and seeing
horrible images all around you. This
probably comes from dreaming. A lot of
people believe that those who claim to be
abducted by aliens are actually going
through this kind of sleep paralysis.
I've only had one occasions where I
continued to dream as I woke up. I had
been dreaming about bees and when I woke
up I could not move or speak and I could
feel a bunch of bees crawling all over my
hand. All I wanted to do was get up and
shake them off, but I couldn't.
