Is it normal to not move in your sleep?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it can be normal to move very little while you sleep, and you may not notice small movements. Your body’s muscles also relax during parts of the sleep cycle.

People move different amounts in their sleep. You might shift position or twitch briefly without remembering it, and some stretches of sleep can be quite still—especially during REM sleep, when most muscles are temporarily relaxed.

If you mean you wake up but can’t move for a short time, that can be sleep paralysis. If you’re having repeated episodes or notice weakness while awake, it’s worth checking in with a healthcare professional.
