Sleep paralysis is very normal for me, but I can’t help but feel a little scared when this happens to me, it happens almost every night, if I say it doesn’t happen for a week that’s a lot.

The problem is that it hits me at all times, for example 7 times a night, and I’m awake and I can move and my symptoms are different from what I mentioned, and this problem is seasonal. I mean, if I measure in November, the other year it also hits me. in November

Thanks for the article, very interesting.
It happens to me from time to time since I was little, always in the initial phase of sleeping, when I was little I had real torments. I learned to wake up by moving my eyes quickly from one side to the other and I woke up, although in most cases, when I went back to sleep it happened again and it is like a feeling that you are going to fall like into another dimension that is increasing. As time went by, I even thought that if I let myself go I would die. Many nights when it happened to me, I was terrified of going back to sleep and would stay awake for several hours.
Over the years (I am 38 years old) I have managed to control it and be aware that it is happening to me and although at first it is a little uncomfortable, when I am aware that it is happening to me, I simply let myself go until I fall asleep, I no longer struggle to wake up since I already know what is happening to me. The fear and hallucinations are practically non-existent and I simply let myself go until I no longer remember anything and I fall asleep, although the next morning I always remember it.
I control my sleeping hours, I exercise practically every day and I have a healthy diet. I never sleep on my back either, but it happens to me from time to time.
Anyone who hasn’t suffered from it will sound like a Chinese, but until you learn to control it, the simple act of sleeping can even scare you.
Thank you so much!

From time to time I suffer from these paralysis, several times in the same dream, whether when I go to sleep or during a nap, I know what it is, I am conscious during the process but I am so sleepy that I just want it to pass and I surrender, I do not resist it. scary, when I do it my body hurts a lot I feel like they are squeezing me but very hard so much that when I wake up my arms hurt as if I had had a cramp, sometimes during the episode I try to talk to wake up when I try to open my mouth I feel like they are crunching teeth and I give up because of the issue of using force with my teeth and damaging them, it is so strange and the sensation of unreal pain turns me off

The truth is, when I started to notice sleep paralysis, I really liked it because it felt relaxing and the feeling of not being able to move was quite good, just knowing that it was just a dream calmed me down and I felt in the clouds, but then it started to evolve and become annoying. The sensation of ringing in the ear and accompanied by tingling in the back is horrible. The feeling that if I stop moving, I feel more pressure and it starts to hurt. It is horrible. Then I start to feel presences and know that they are unreal, but at that moment I can Feeling and seeing them is something out of terror. The truth is that it doesn’t happen much to me anymore because I started sleeping with my dog. That company has limited my sleep paralysis.

I normally have paralysis where I see things and I can see but not move, tonight was different because I had 4 paralysis in a row where I didn’t see anything (it was all dark) but I had a bad time when I woke up (I don’t know if it was completely) I went back to sleep and without realizing that I fell asleep it happened again and so on 4 times until I said that the next time I wake up I will turn on the light but the 4th time I felt that my cat was lying near my chest and I gave him kisses haha but He was down on my legs, I looked down and saw like a monster or something like that, I didn’t understand anything, just like when I woke up and turned on the light, next to me I saw someone standing and my cat was sleeping on my feet, scared.

Something similar happens to me, I wake up and go back to sleep immediately many times, it happens very constantly, sometimes it happens with paralysis and other times I just can’t get out of the cycle until dawn. :’v

You know, I didn’t suffer from that, but I have this problem that now almost every night, for about 2 months, I get them at night, and even when I wake up I don’t give it much thought, I fall asleep again and again I fall into paralysis. , and at those moments I feel anxiety, fear, anger because I can’t wake up and I almost always see monsters or shadows or sounds, and the other night when I was trying to wake up I heard in my hate a buzzing sound like ziii or peep or something like that, and when When I wake up I feel very tired, it’s like they took away all my energy and I would be twice as tired :c I don’t understand why this happens to me, I’m looking for an answer scientifically but it doesn’t completely solve me,

Friend, almost the same thing happened to me but with my dog, but be careful, I’ll tell you my experience. Sleep paralysis brings out realisms as deep as someone pulling your blankets and trying to hurt you. It’s very real. Before, I didn’t understand why? I already had the idea that my room was haunted haha, it wasn’t a nightmare, it was extremely real to feel that. Then I slept with my dog and I felt that presence again and I felt that my dog was scratching the fleas on my feet and I was like what, but Because it doesn’t bark at that entity, it turns out that it didn’t exist, it was just the cause of the paralysis. I woke up and fell asleep. Then I felt my dog on top of me and licking me. Really, I understood that the mind creates scenarios more real than a dream when being in paralysis.

Hello everyone, I have or think I have a type of sleep paralysis, but it is different from the others, this happens to me when I try to sleep, and what happens to me is that I want to move and I can’t do it, but I am with the eyes closed and I do not experience any of the things they say, when I wake up and try to sleep again it happens again, and about 6 times, also when I wake up I am too sleepy or tired, this paralysis does not last more than about 30 seconds, what happens to me is something very strange and I feel different from the others

Hello everyone, since I was a child, since I can remember, I have been feeling things lately that are stronger. I have associated them with sleep paralysis. I think it happens to me often. There are times several times a night, no matter what position I am in. I feel like there is someone in the room. room he takes my hands I feel like he’s burning my hands other times he stops so I can see him I can open my eyes I’ve heard my voice because I’m trying to speak I feel things moving I hear my daughters breathing I sleep with them in the same bed I feel like it lasts a long time, I try to breathe deeply to give oxygen to the brain and it doesn’t seem like it gets worse after it happens. There are objects that move slightly. I don’t know if it’s because I just told my family and they don’t pay attention. It’s a horrible feeling. I really don’t know what it is, I’ve even gotten to the point of sleeping with the light on. If anyone knows of something I can take or do, I thank you because I don’t like those sensations, I’m scared, I’ve even started crying all my life with this. It’s strange. I also feel like someone grabbed my kidneys and they hurt for two days after that. Please, if anyone knows something to take that isn’t so strong since I’m nursing a baby, thank you so much.

Hello, I thought it was just me. This happened to me, I still sleep with my daughter and in the “paralysis” I see where my daughter is lying next to me and they pull my feet, I struggle to leave the house and look for help and no one pays attention to me or listens to me and I wake up tired and I don’t know what to do and sometimes it’s the same. Thing is repeated up to three times

It has happened to me since I was little, over the years I have managed to identify what is happening to me and I simply let myself go until I fall asleep. At first, until I realize it, it is uncomfortable, but once I am aware, I let myself go and end up falling asleep. I have noticed that when I don’t fight to wake up, it simply disappears and ends there, if I try to wake up I do so by moving my eyes quickly, although I no longer do this since when I wake up and try to sleep again it happens again.
I would advise you that when it starts to happen to you, do not fight, just let yourself go, for me the fact of fighting to wake up was what caused the hallucinations, now by not fighting I do not have hallucinations, simply a feeling that I am letting go.
I hope it helps you!
Cheer up!

Hello !! I have suffered from sleep paralysis since I was a child, today as an adult I learn to control myself and not be afraid knowing that in a few minutes I will wake up, I can say that I am lucky enough not to experience ugly things like what happens to others, if I can listen to what happens to around me and invent situations when I’m asleep, e.g. force myself to stand up, see myself standing up and when I wake up it’s logical that I’m lying down, see people and things like that but it’s always about my family, never dark or bad things.

Good night! I am 22 years old and I think I suffer from sleep paralysis, I can’t say for sure if it is or not, but sometimes when I sleep something similar happens to me.
What usually happens to me is that as I am in that strange dream, at first I cannot move but I do everything possible to move my body and I have even managed to move but a very short movement since I notice that my body weighs me tons. Yes, I feel terror and anguish, I try to do everything possible to wake up until a few minutes before I realize I manage to wake up.
I have to add that while I am in the process of sleeping I know when sleep paralysis is going to arise.
I would like someone to explain this situation to me and what type of paralysis it could be because I am still not convinced to call it “sleep paralysis.”
