Since it can be caused by stress, and irregular sleep patterns, I would say that it could be, in essence a "side effect" of anxiety. Since anxiety can cause poor sleep, and well, it IS stress. LoL Ask your doctor though, always better safe than sorry!

In any case, sorry I can't be of more help, but I hope you find a good solution. I'm sure it must be a scary situation to awaken and find yourself unable to control your body.
