This happens only when I lie supine on a chair or something similar. I'm
sorry that I forget to mention this beforehand. However, I hadn't realised
it until I read about sleep paralysis. I even realised that a close friend
of mine experiences sleep paralysis as well (when reading).
This happened to me again yesterday and I tried the rapid eye open-and-close
method that I read about in Wikipedia (my friend pointed to
http://www.skepdic.com/sleepparalysis.html). This seemed to have worked.
What I dislike the most is the sensing a "presence" which is uncomforting if
you fall asleep in a building the size of a stadium where you work solely
at night.
