\ud83d\udeab a temporary inability to move or speak<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc40 a total awareness of the environment<\/p>\n

The person is awake\u2026 but completely immobilized .<\/p>\n
The scientific explanation<\/p>\n
As strange as it may seem, sleep paralysis has a clear scientific explanation .<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 It occurs when the brain wakes up before the body .
