Read the sources which people mentioned in this thread. A few days ago I did
not even know what sleep paralysis was.
The text refers to the exact same symptoms which you mentioned, but it is a
rarity.
Regarding humour/terror, my only worry is that if someone were to see me in
the temporary state of paralysis (though it only lasts seconds), an
emergency call could be made in vain.
