How do i stop having sleep paralysis ?

ive had it for years, im 20 right now. usually u hear a loud noise which i think comes from me sometimes right before you start seeing things around you. you usually see faces of people and the feeling that someone is in the room. i just want to know how to make it stop. im not afraid of it anymore, but i do try to snap out of it as soon as i can. i have developed a theory : when ever i feel myself start to slip into sleep paralysis i start to wiggle my fingers. it usually works and i wake up, but other times i dont do it in time. what are the causes? could it come from bad sleeping habits. i have a family history of sleeping disorders.

i usually get sleep paralysis when i take afternoon naps that usually lasts for a few hours(i intended on making up for lost sleep but it tends to backfire by causing sleep paralysis) it’s a dreadful, helpless feeling.i can hear all that’s around me,yet i cannot move,as if i was under anesthesia.i also try to wiggle my fingers and later i bolt awake!i think naps disrupt my body clock’s sleeping schedule, so my body is confused and reacts irrationally whenever i take sudden naps.so i would suggest to stick with your regular sleeping schedule and try to avoid taking over limit naps(the suggested nap time is about 15 minutes.anything more is too long) or other bad sleeping habits.
