Actually, what lewis c said is correct!. It is an actual phenomena that occurs!. When we sleep our body stops sending signals from the brain to the spinal cord so that we don't act out our dreams but I was watching a 60 minutes special and there is a rare sleeping disorder that occurs in some people where the brain "wakes up" before the signals are being sent to your spinal cord!. It takes a bit longer for your body to move despite instructions from your brain!. It doesn't sound like a panic attack but rather a scary situation where you were confused!. A panic attack is usually in a situation that causes you to stop what you're doing because your overwhelmed and you cannot continue whatever activity you were doing before!. If you do have this sleeping disorder it's not a big deal, just scary!. I would however, talk to a medical professional about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't know what this is called but have a friend who had this!. I think its a disorder!. Some people call it a seizure but its not!. Its not exactly a panic attack either because there doesn't seem to be anything tha disturbed your mind before you slept from your description!. Its just the fact that thoughts and memories of what happened before you sleep rush through your head!. For some people it even has to do with the sleeping position!. Your body catches up to your brain after it wakes and that's why you jerk up!. Its not exactly something to worry about unless it happens frequentl!. Then you have to go see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Not sure what it is!. Have heard of it!. Has happened to me!.Its not a panic attack though!. My guess is something like your mind wakes up before your body!. People say when that happens a witch is riding your back!. Thats what old people say anyways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sort of sounds like when your brain wakes up before your body!. It is only a matter of seconds before your limbs catch up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
