I Suffer From Sleep Paralysis

My sister suffers with that too, but she feels a presence in the room, like a man watching her. I know she used to get really scared; she's had it for a few years now and it doesn't happen as often. She tells me she tries to wiggle her toes to wake herself up, that works for her.

On a side note, sleep paralysis is actually a fascinating area of neurological study. The brain is believed to be between states of conciousness, so you are conciously awake, but your brain is still dreaming. You can't move your body but you can sense what's around you. It sounds terrifying, but perhaps by doing some research into it and understanding it better it'll feel less scary to you. And of course, scientists are trying to find a way to stop it happening.

Hope this helps! ☺

Awww I'm so sorry. Don't really know much about it, but if u ever wanna talk or vent I'm a totally non judgmental good listener 🙂 I hope it gets better and you work through it

I also experienced sleep paralysis last night. I'm too used to it for it to scare me though.

Must be rough. I experienced it only as a child and adolescent and then quite rarely. Not at all since I was 19.

Ik what the problem is.

Try moving your nose. That's usually wakes me up.

Astral projection...

im so sorry i wish i new how it felt to help you

It happens usually because of bad sleeping habits. Like insomnia or sleeping too long. Or not getting enough sleep. Common but scary.

Weed would help there haha ;)

Sometimes I've wanted to go through that just to see what other people feel.

wow that's bad..

Me too
