About one-third of university students in Islamabad, Pakistan, had experienced sleep paralysis at least once. The most common sensation during an episode was a feeling of floating. The average age at first experience was around 10 years. Half of those affected experienced episodes while lying on their back, and a quarter had a family history of sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis was significantly associated with poor sleep quality and with insomnia.
