A common condition characterized by transient partial or total paralysis of skeletal
muscles and areflexia that occurs upon awakening from sleep or less often while falling
asleep. Stimuli such as touch or sound may terminate the episode, which usually has
a duration of seconds to minutes. This condition may occur in normal subjects or be
associated with NARCOLEPSY; CATAPLEXY; and hypnagogic HALLUCINATIONS. The pathophysiology
of this condition is closely related to the normal hypotonia that occur during REM
sleep. (From Adv Neurol 1995;67:245-271)
