Have you ever had sleep paralysis?

It's terrifying. After every time it happens, I always think that the next time can't possibly be that bad, but it always is. Each time is just as bad as the last. I'll wake up in the middle of the night, and I can't move. There are voices whispering in my ear and a face always appears on my ceiling. Every single time, it seems real as ever even though there's nothing there.

I hate sleep paralysis myself. I have not experienced much of it lately, but when I do, it is most unwanted. Like you, I see, feel and hear things/people that aren't there. When this happens, the brain is between sleep and wakefulness, while the rest of the body is still asleep. I resort to wiggling my toes in order to wake up properly.
