Experiencing daytime paralysis - anyone else?

Hi everyone, I have my sleep study coming up soon to hopefully get some answers, but I'm wondering if anyone else experiences paralysis-like symptoms during the day? I don't think I have cataplexy, as it's not triggered by emotions. But throughout the day, I'll get episodes where my limbs feel weak and numb, making it hard to move. It's very similar to sleep paralysis, just while I'm awake and going about my day. The feeling can affect my legs, arms, or neck at different times. I experience this from when I wake up until I go to sleep at night. It's quite disruptive to my daily activities. I'm curious if this could be related to narcolepsy or if it's something else entirely. Has anyone else dealt with daytime paralysis like this or heard of it as a symptom? I'd appreciate any insights as I try to figure out what's going on. Thanks in advance for any help!

Wow, that sounds really challenging! Have you tried any mindfulness techniques to help manage the symptoms? Meditation might help you stay grounded during episodes. I hope your sleep study provides some answers. Sending positive vibes your way! 🌿🙏
