Yes, don't worry, it's normal. It's called sleep paralysis. It happens when your entering a new state of your sleepiing wich is called REM (Rapid Eye Movements), it's the state when your dreams happen. The fact is that your consciouness at this time should be off but it is on, normally you would not wake wake up but you do. It's not a disease, many people experience that, the voices you hear are hypnagogic hallucinations, kind of a wake up dream. Just relax, it can be frightening but it's not abnormal. If it really bothers you, you can talk about it with your doctor.

Yes this happens to a lot of people even to me. The official diagnosis is sleep paralysis, but I kind of think it could be something else, for example many people say they find themselves paralysed prior to being abducted.

Sounds freaky but my Multiple Sclerosis is worst.

Try waking up and you can't feel your legs, for WEEKS.
