Anyone else have the experience of struggling so hard to move, feeling paralyzed yet awake, but then realizing you were asleep the whole time? I just had a series of those (especially when I sleep over 12 hours) where I would struggle with every fibre of my being to move or wake up, until I eventually did, at which point I just went back to sleep. I'm forcing myself to stay awake now because it feels absolutely terrifying, not to mention I have slept way too much and I'd better get up.

I think it's a form of sleep paralysis, but I'm still looking into that.

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's sleep paralysis.
