My terrifying experience

sleep paralysis

One night I was asleep for no apparent reason I woke up in the middle of the night which was
normal since this happens very often, quickly and carefully I took my tablet and silently turned
it on to see what time it was, and for good they were 3 in the morning and although they were
vacations, I am quite happy because it was a long time before I woke up that day, so I quickly
turned off my tablet and settled down to go back to sleep. already when I was about to sleep
again the ears began to ring very fast and very abruptly, this did scare me a little because I
thought something bad was happening to me since this had never happened to me and
although I tried to calm down to go back to sleep everything got worse since my body
suddenly began to feel very heavy and I could not move a single muscle, and sincerely for this
moment I was already very scared and carefully tried to move but could not move, it was at
that moment to go I remembered something called sleep paralysis, which here in Mexico is
commonly told that the dead person went up, but it is a very simple explanation since your
body is awake but your brain is still asleep, and that I already knew that it was that and I
should not be disturbed, the opposite happened because if I altered this it only got worse since
I felt that they were watching me and I was hearing voices but although I already knew that
everything was in my brain if I got scared after a few minutes I better and gently began to
move my body and I was relieved to know that I could already and although this bad moment
had passed, I wanted to sleep that night
