Sleep paralysis

I suffer from hypoglycemia and have a very unstable bloodsugar level. With that comes that during the day I fall asleep. During the night I sometimes have to much energy and can't sleep deep enough. Sometimes I fall asleep very quick when I hit my bed. But after a few minutes I wake up and experience sleep paralysis so it seems.
What makes me curious is the effect on the brain. I read that people get scared or paranoid for a few seconds. I sometimes start to blasphemy or get a low voice in my head. In other words, I can't move my tongue properly either. Or so I think I can't.
Very interesting to read about something I couldn't talk about with somebody else until now.
Thanks for posting this subject!
Of course, the same is true if I was unconscious and sleeping as well, but somehow, being awake and unable to respond and being aware made it terrifying.
Never experienced sleep paralysis before.
