Pulsing light

I got home from school and thought, "I am tired. I am going to take a twenty-minute nap." So I came upstairs and launched myself into bed. I did not even know that I would kept my mind conscious when my body began to fall asleep after about fifteen minutes. I could have sworn I heard some sort of scraping/ticking noise. I felt the pulsing of my heartbeat under my skin all over my body. I suddenly just knew, "This is what sleep paralysis feels like. I have done it." As soon as the pulsing stopped, I opened my eyes. I could see a picture of my room, but it was fragmented, distorted. Just to make sure, I tried to check my hands---I had no fingers at all! I think I did something wrong because I had to force myself to move. In other words, I was still paralyzed. Suddenly the view shifted and everything went back to normal. I did a reality check and was awake. I felt so terrible!
