Today, I was on a plane returning to University, and I decided to shut my eyes. I opened them about 45 minutes later just as the plane landed to find I couldn't move at all. I was in sleep paralysis. The air hostesses had to lift me out of my seat. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I'd booked a window seat for my first flight because I wanted to enjoy the view. A few minutes after takeoff, I fell asleep. I woke up just as we were about to land, with a dead phone, a stiff neck, and absolutely no idea what the clouds looked like. FML
Today, I was on a plane flying home and fell asleep. I woke up to my own snoring and everyone on the plane looking at me. FML
Today, I was asleep on a plane. I woke up after feeling the plane jolt and I screamed at the top of my lungs. The little girl next to me told me I was a sissy. Everyone around us laughed. FML
Today, I just finished a seventeen hour flight in economy. I actually managed to fall asleep, until a flight attendant shined her flashlight directly into my bad eye, triggering an excruciating pain response. Why? "I couldn't see your seatbelt." It was fastened, and the seat belt light wasn't even lit. FML
Today, I was on a flight from Chicago to Minneapolis. A rather attractive young lady sitting next to me fell asleep at the beginning of the flight. About 40 minutes into the flight I noticed my fly was open. The lady woke to me with my hands in my crotch struggling to zip up my fly. FML
Today, I was on an airplane and had to go to the bathroom. The guy next to me was asleep and blocking the aisle. I tapped him on the shoulder, and he responded by punching me in the stomach. FML
Today, I was sitting next to a lady on an airplane who was very overweight. She fell asleep on me, and violently bled from her nose upon take off and landing. FML
Today, I booked the cheapest seat on a six-hour flight to save money. The person next to me spent the entire trip asleep on my shoulder, and I felt too awkward to wake them up. By the time we landed, my neck hurt so much that I had to explain to guards and baggage claim staff why I couldn't turn my head. FML
Today, I woke up at 3:45 AM to fly to Pittsburgh to sample classes at a university there. After all that flying and sitting in traffic for 2 hours, I finally got to attend to my first class. I fell asleep during it. FML
Today, I went on an overnight airplane flight. I wanted to be comfy so I took off my shorts, threw a blanket over myself, and slept. When the lights came back on, I ran to the bathroom before they served food. After using the bathroom, I noticed I hadn't put my shorts back on. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can't even begin to imagine how awkward that would be.

Sounds more like the flight attendant fml. But that's got to suck OP, get it checked out.

Hahaha, that must have been awful! X) But you'll probably laugh at it later. And now you have a funny story to tell!

I would really like to hear DocBastard's professional opinion on this matter.

I've had sleep paralysis before.. Scary... Feels like you're dead and barely breathing... D:
Jaxx66 21
Yes. Like you can't get enough air, because your body won't do anything. I think though the lack of breathing is because it's so frightening.
olpally 33
Exactly... It happened to me a couple days in a row... :/

Well shit. Until just now I didn't think this was possible without some sort of drugs like roofies. D:

I have been a nurse for 20 years and this is the first I have ever heard of this, I googled it and OMG that is soo scary!!! Bless your heart:(

Fun fact: alien abduction stories come from people going through sleep paralysis and not realizing (or researching) that it's a sleep disorder and not a supernatural occurrence.

I'd be happy if a flight attendant touched me like that

It's NOT medical problem. If it hasn't happened to you, don't even begin to try to understand it or even "diagnose" it. It's very real, very scary & actually very common. I've had my deal of these and they actually get worse with time...

This was scary. I wouldn't be able to move & the only way i could wake up was by breathing hard; not sure if that was due to panic or by force though.
