I'm not diagnosing; just telling you what I believe you are experiencing.
Sleep Paralysis. It is a transition state between wakefulness and rest. It can occur at sleep onset or when awakening. It is believed a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle weakness that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams.
Basically, your brain starts to wake up before your body does.

It is nothing to be afraid of.
This happens to me all too frequently. Sometimes when this happens, I see things in my room. It's only part of my lingering dream.
Whenever you wake but cannot move, just remind yourself that this is a natural occurrence and nothing will harm you.
Do you sleep mostly on your back? Sleep paralysis occurs more often in this position. Try sleeping on your side more often.

I would definetly talk to your parents and your doctors about this. I have never been in this situation. But i have had bad dreams that i wake up terrified.

you shouldn't have to be afraid to go to bed.
You should be able to just lay there and go to sleep.

You might need to talk to a doctor so get help sleeping properly.

Good luck hon!

If you can't move then it sounds like you may have Sleep Paralysis.

I cannot diagnosis you as I am not a doctor but I would recommend talking to your parents about this and set up a sleep study as you may have a sleeping disorder.
