Is this Sleep Paralysis?

[Nocturnal]

Sometimes, usually after a dream, I suddenly awake to find my arm (or another limb) very numb, as if it "fell asleep" (excuse the pun!). Is this because I am suddenly coming out of Sleep Paralysis?

Thanks in advance!

BTW, love this website, I am very optimistic about its future =]

Also, will you be adding section to this forum (similar to LD4all?)

hi, as far as i know this is not sleep paralasis as you have to time it right to get sleep paralasis because of your rem cycle, you probably enterd your n/rem (non rem) which allows your body to toss and turn while you arn't dreaming and cut off the blood supply shortly before you woke.

Yeah, like "Pins and Needles" thats what we call it here. I've woken up with half of my torso and arm all frozen before. It's a blood circulation thing.
