Question by Tree Eater: What is the name of this sleep disorder? I can't remember the name of the sleeping disorder but the symptons are something like this. Whilst still asleep, the patient 'wakes up' to discover that they are lying in bed unable to move and that someone or somebody is attempting to smother them. They eventually wake up properly.
