But if the sleep paralysis happens outside of sleep, then it is a disorder. It usually happens just befroe falling asleep, or just after waking up. It can last for several minutes, but then it disappears.Some scientists believe that cases of "alien abduction" could be undiagnose episodes of sleep paralysis, combined with hypnagogic hallucinations.
