The invention relates to an awakening system for sleep paralysis. The awakening system comprises a signal acquisition module, a setting module, a signal processing and comparing module and an awakening module, wherein the signal acquisition module, the setting module and the awakening module are electrically connected with the signal processing and comparing module; the signal acquisition module is used for acquiring respiratory rate signals; the setting module is used for setting the respiratory rate during awakening; the signal processing and comparing module is used for performing shape-correction processing on the respiratory rate signals acquired by the signal acquisition module and comparing the signals with respiratory rate standards set by the setting module; the awakening module acts when comparison results obtained by the signal processing and comparing module are the same. The awakening system for sleep paralysis can recognize sleep paralysis and awaken a patient, awakeningconditions can be set according to specific conditions, and the awakening system is flexible and reliable.
