I had a nap today and while I was sleeping I hallucinated and I thought I saw a person in my room. I knew I was aware but then again I was half asleep, it's odd. It's happen to me before I thought I saw something and it sort of made me jump. Before when I experience this, I can experience myself being scared but then after it stops. This doesn't scare me but it does become annoying. I'm used to it. Has anyone experienced this? Do you know any ways that I can experience less of this? Is this sort of sleep walking? Any help would be appreciated

Yes, it's called 'sleep paralysis' and its very common. What happens is, you're kind of in between waking and dreaming so it all feels very real. Often it comes with the terror you describe and a sense of a presence in the room.
I've had it happen before but not recently. I've read it tends to happen more when you are sleeping poorly, are sleep-deprived, or when you are napping (as you describe here). It's not dangerous but it's kind of alarming. If it happens a lot, you might want to talk to your doctor about it. Good luck! ![]() |
