More Catalepsy

I'm convinced fatigue creates the perfect conditions in my body for catalepsy. I was very exhausted on Saturday night and several times through the night I awoke with awareness but no power over my body. I think this happened perhaps 3 or 4 times, and at least one of those times I noticed my head or jaw was shaking very minutely as a video paused between two frames.

The difference in this last experience was that it occured in other sleeping positions. Previously catalepsy only seemed to occur when I was lying on my back. However, in this instance I was lying on my stomach and on my side.

Should I be concerned at this stage? I've noticed a renewed frequency of catalepsy, and this is the first time that:

  1. It has occured in these different sleeping positions;

  2. That it has occured a number of times in succession;

  3. It has occured during the night (where it would usually occur either at the beginning or end of a sleep cycle)

  4. It has happened without warning, for which I could adjust my position to avoid it



I'll keep an eye on it!
