The primary cause of sleep paralysis is that of not being fully awake when the attacks happen. The attacks occur when dreaming you are suddenly woken from your sleep and your brain responds much faster than your body. You then experience the sensation that the dream you were having is real. When you try and respond to this then your body cannot even move a single muscle.

The reason for this is that the transition from being asleep to full consciousness is meant to be gradual and not sudden. If something suddenly wakes you up whilst you are having a dream then paralysis is likely to set in. Being paralyzed during sleep is actually meant to be a protective measure for you. The body is trying to prevent you from reacting to something that is not there.

Panic and fear usually set in when one tries to scream and the sound does not even come out. What has always left me puzzled that these so called hallucinations are so real when they occur. Having experienced one too many times I decided to learn more about it.

If you are experiencing episodes where by you become paralyzed during sleep solutions are always there. It is quite possible to sleep and rest peacefully at night.
