sleep paralysis that lasts for the entire night

when i wake up from a "normal" nightmare, there's a pretty good chance i cant sleep anymore for the rest of the night: every time i stay still for a few seconds trying to fall asleep, my body stops working but my brain still thinks.

obviously i can't sleep at all at that point since my brain refuses to turn off, and it's REALLY annoying since it's basically like experiencing sleep paralysis 20+ times in a night.

and "waking up" from it is actually hard since the only way for me seems to be trying to move my head with a lot of force.

(this only happens to me like ~3 times a year. generally i don't suffer much but when it happens i'm geniunely just pissed, especially today when it's a fucking friday night and i was supposed to sleep a lot)
