Do you guys have experienced sleep paralysis frequently or sometimes?
Sleep paralysis is when you wake up and suddenly you can’t open your eyes, move your body, sometimes still hearing or feeling things and can’t breathing, even though your conscious and awake?
This is sort of a frequent thing for me, believe it or not.
I did once and it was the most frightening experience in my entire life. I woke up from a dream and I felt like there was a body lying on top of me, keeping me down and preventing me from moving. I could barely see anything because it was very dark. I was very scared, I felt like I was in danger, so I tried to scream, but no sound came out. I remember forming the words "MOM!", in my head, but I couldn’t make a sound. Then a hand moved over my mouth, and I felt like I was being suffocated. My next thought was to throw myself off the bed, anything to be out from under the thing that was crushing my body. I don’t remember what happened next because I fell asleep. I did not sleep at all the next night, but it has never happened again.

This…believe it or not is usually the precursor to astral travel

I started having sleep paralysis on a regular basis around the age of 15 or 16, however the first time I experienced it I was much younger. The first couple times it happened I thought I was literally dying. It is still frightening when I get it but after awhile you get used to it. There is a trick I use when this happens, All you need to do to snap out of the paralysis is to move one body part. I focus on my fingers, keep trying to move a finger and once u do BAM it’s gone.
I have read that if you sleep on your back your chances of having a SP episode are increased. Stress and extreme exhaustion are the most common triggers. There is also a strong correlation between Narcolepsy and Sleep Paralysis so you might want to look into that. And many people who have SP also have a panic disorder, i.e. panic attacks, Generalized Anxiety Disorder etc.
Some people enjoy their sleep paralysis episode because they claim they can have an out of body experience. I’ve always tried to remain calm enough to try it out but it never seems to happen
As i got older I have had less and less episodes so hopefully you will grow out of it, assuming you are in your early adult years that is.

it happend to me a couple time before but mostly when am stressed out.the first time i woke up and i couldnt move and this lady or girl was standing by my door and i was scared out my a s s.then other times i just realized that i was thinking to much and that if i relax it would go away.
i think it happens to females more because ladies think so much so you might more response from females
