Sleep paralysis
It sounds like you have sleep paralysis. I've had it for as long as I can remember. It was really frustrating until I learned more about it. It's a sleep disorder and is a form of narcolepsy. I find that for me it happens most often if I'm lying on my back or take a nap during the day, so I avoid naps and sleep on my side. I will occasionally still have problems but not nearly as often.

I don't think it has anything to do with UFOs, myself! If I were you, I'd talk to my family doctor. I know it can be really frightening. Not being able to scream or move is very upsetting. Good luck to you!
Think this is sleep paralysis
I am not sure of the name but yes, I have had that happen to me, except no noise. I felt like I was awake, could not move, totally paralyzed and scared because I knew some kind of horrible creature was behind me but I could not run, turn or do anything else. This has probably happened 3-4 times and I hope never again. I totally understand where you are coming from.
Hi, Jan; used to be in nursing, still have my books, sleep paralysis....sm
along with hypnagogic hallucinations, cataplexy, and narcolepsy all fall into the same category in Neuro, it is recognized and documented. I will not go into the syndromes here, but if you Google up some of the educational articles from medical web sites, there are tons of information. It is real, and thank your lucky stars that you don't experience anything like this.

Certain drugs CAN do freaky things with your sleep/wake cycles like vivid dreams and such, but it is usually self-limited to the med, and when the med is stopped, the problem goes. I have had some of these syndromes going back to childhood, and have had them documented with sleep study EEGs and such because they were so disturbing, seems to happen in clusters and then go away for years, don't know why. And NO, I am not currently on tranquilizers or sleep meds, I take vitamins and supplements, but someone is not a "whacko" if they need them. I don't mean to preach at ya, here, but feel bad for some of the above posters, they need answers and compassion.
Sounds like sleep paralysis (and possibly hypnagogic hallucinations) to me. sm
If it has only happened to you a few times in your life, it's probably nothing to worry about. It happens to some folks now and then.

It can, however, sometimes be a sign of other sleep problems (like chronic sleep deprivation, or even narcolepsy) and, if it persists, it would certainly be worth mentioning to your physician, who may decide to have a sleep study just to investigate further.
Google, google, google and make some practice

Anyone find as you get older you get a more interrupted sleep pattern and sleep less and wake up
more at night.  Any suggestions for this.
Sleep....beautiful sleep.... nm

Try google...sm
When I was looking to go short, I typed in short hair style or short hair cut or similar wording.  A lot of the sites have the same pictures (but so do the magazines, which bugs me) but once you get there, some have all different lengths and not just short styles.
I would google for
small business startups for your individual state. Seems like there would be the possibility of health codes to follow, health department inspections, but no experience with this.

You are brave!

I am sure you could google
pool maintenance for free articles?
Use Google....see msg
Go to Google home page, and at the top click on "Products." Click on that, type in the name of the toy, and search. You can click on "lowest to highest price" to refine your search better. It showed some at Target for $39. Good luck.
Google.

I thought this was cute and I am thinking you might too. My husband and son are hot dog freaks so I was planning on making this next week for them. Google search "hot dog cake"

google "fired up pottery"

every town has a paint your own pottery place, or maybe you could start one.
Google them.

Thank you all for your responses. I did Google this sm
and didn't find too much. I did find some support on holistic sites, though, about Hartz products and other people saying their dogs have become sick on other once-a-month flea meds. It might be too early for people to make the connection.

Thank you all for your responses. Healthy pets for all!
Check out Google
Today (Valentine's Day) Google's home page has a special way of spelling "Google".  The second "g" is in the form of a chocolate-covered strawberry with chocoloate dripping down to form the bottom of the "g" but there is no "l" so that "Google" appears to be spelled "Googe".
I google whatever ? comes to mind...sm

Funny you said that, Google him.
He has been wanting his own show. Sorta explains the playing up to the cameras and the unprofessional behavior, doesn't it. It is just too bad everyone is forgetting the sad story and the woman behind all of this, huh?
did ya google your question?

I had to google, too. I had no idea.
nm
Started to google but when I saw going here and going there
just decided not gonna read all that. First of all I think you and only you make your life happy or sad, good or bad. I do good for others and it comes back to me, always but I do because I want to, not have to. Life is in our hands and ours alone, not our husband, children, other family members.
Did you try asking Google for the info? sm
I do that often when I have questions like that because more than likely others have the same question.  Put in your type of satellite and something like "set timer to record" and you may find an answer out there.  Good luck!  
creature from the 70s....google it

I bet you could google this and get an accurate

Google not working
I tried to Google this but I am not coming up with anything.  Maybe I am not using the right words?
When you get a chance, google the
Alday family in Georgia, rural, mostly farming family, all killed in the 60s by intruders- I think there were about 5-7 family members they killed that day plus raping the woman before slaying her also. Sometimes people have false sense of security.
I have found that on Google.
But not the kid Shampoo. 
Google is your friend. :) nm

While you are in google see if you can find
anything about the old people that are losing their homes because of "reverse mortgage" because it is not ALL on the up and up.

I make no sense because you make no sense.

You have no idea how old I am or am not. You have no idea what I do and do not know.

Oh, and by the way...Google all you want. I bet if I Googled Obama I could find a website that would tell me he is Purple. Get a real life. You know, the kind that you don't have to make up.
You don’t need less sleep
you just sleep less and I just tell the younger ones to enjoy their sleep while they can. I miss the days when I could sleep 10 hours or so.
sleep
don't go to bed right after you have been doing a lot of 'mental work' reading works well to help me fall asleep, not necessarily stay there. I find when I am the worst is when I do a lot of mental activities right before bed. I just can't 'turn it off'
getting enough sleep
is one of the keys to losing weight- if you don't get enough sleep it actually makes it harder to lose weight, I think because of extra cortisol. Plus we probably eat more when we are tired and need more energy.

I know how you feel though- I was able to lose 70 pounds but now have come to a dead standstill where I keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds and never going below that. I still have at least another 30 pounds to lose. Its very frustrating!
Sleep MD
You can find this at walmart.  I'm going through the same thing, and I don't want to take anything strong because it just makes me fuzzy the next day.  Sleep MD works pretty well.  Give it a try. 
I always sleep better when I have our 7 yo between us
Hey, Unreal.. I also nursed her until she was 3 years old. Really unreal, huh? I sleep much better when she sleeps with us. She has a 20 yo brother who slept between us until he was at least 7, then always would bring his sleeping back in and sleep on the floor next to our bed. We continue to have a strong bond with him even though he is grown up and now out of our home. And no sicko hanky panky going on in our bed either. Country MT, your son will be closer to you for the rest of his life because of the close, loving bond you are forming with him right now. It will make all the difference in the world when he goes through those teen years, believe me.
i used to sleep like that :)
I'm thankful for people like yourself that take these animals in. My family (and extended) growing up always got their animals from the pound. All our's and our daughter's have been abused, rejected and/or abandoned. It is so rewarding to see them happy and your friend looks happy too!!
Have you tried Sleep MD?
You can buy it otc in drug stores and Wal-Mart. It works pretty well and has "natural" ingredients - not sure what's in it but you don't have that foggy feeling when you wake up.
sleep
Are you stressed about something? Try putting on some soothing music at bedtime and do conscious meditation, deep breathing to relax yourself and let go of the stress. Other than that, there are herbal preparations that help.
I NEED my sleep!
I've gotten by on less than 8 hours of sleep, but it's not a pretty sight. I'm like a zombie and can barely keep awake in the afternoon. But I really like to sleep, too! I like the feeling of drifting off, and I love the feeling of waking up after UNINTERRUPTED sleep. And there's the rub! Hubby snores, and he wakes me up. Or, because he goes to bed before me, he's already snoring when I come to bed, and that keeps me from falling asleep. Ear plugs don't do it for me. Now that I have a son in college, I've taken to sleeping in his room when he's away, and I get much better sleep. I've been able to train myself to sleep less in the past, perhaps just 5 hours a night. But I couldn't sustain it longer than 2 or 3 weeks before I'd just crash and burn. I think some people can do it, but I'm not one of them.
sleep
I think more important than how many hours you sleep is what you do with the hours you are awake. I can be very productive, or waste a lot of time.
These are associated with sleep,
not having attacks or strokes. Go back to your fly by night medical degree license.

sounds like typical southern style dressing with dried cranberries in it. Sounds yummy!
Google DermaSmooth Scalp Oil

I complained to my dermatologist about itchy scalp and he recommended this. It is peanut oil based I must note to those with peanut allergy.   He also recommend Triamcinolone Cream for itching skin.
