Could I have sleep paralysis?

I'm a 24 year old college kid and every once in a while I'll wake up, be able to open my eyes but can't move, or can barely move. It takes what feels like a long time to be able to move. It hasn't happened, thankfully, in a long while time, but just happened and this was the worst It's been that I remember. Seemed to last the longest. It's 3:00 in the morning right now, I was only asleep a few hours and I'm very tired and need to sleep but I'm terrified to go back to sleep. Does this sound like sleep paralysis? If so, any tips? Thank you.
