Sleep paralysis is a frightening event with awareness of paralysis of all but the ventilatory and extraocular muscles. Hypnogogic hypnopompic hallucinations may be associated. Both deep tendon reflexes and H reflexes are depressed during the event. The paralysis is limited to seconds to a few minutes.
Occurs in a quarter of narcoleptics but also occurs in non-narcoleptics as an isolated or reccurent phenomenon at the sleep-wake transition.

You are right, Bozhenka, and it often is seen on waking up in Narcolepsy.
