I've only consciously experienced SP once, and it was almost exactly as you've told it. I had woken up earlier than usual, and was falling back to sleep when it occured, though-- which is different from you. Still, I didn't feel any vibrations, nor seen anything but the insides of my eyelids; and hell yeah it was scary, and I even knew what was happening. It was simply that I couldn't move at all; I felt all my muscles relax, tried to roll over and found I couldn't. I suppose I freaked out enough to wake my body up a few seconds later, but...

That's just what I've experienced. I'm curious how other people will respond in this thread as well.
