I just had it happen to me for the 1 billionth time and am once again, terrified. Why does the body do this? I wonder if we are the only species this happens to?

Your nervous system has to block some signals from your brain while you sleep so that you don’t move around. When it doesn’t turn on fast enough/not work perfectly, you get sleep-walking. When it works too well/doesn’t turn off when it’s supposed to, you get sleep paralysis.
