Is Sleep Paralysis dangerous?
Sleep paralysis is most often associated with narcolepsy, a neurological. However, there are many people who experience sleep paralysis without having signs of narcolepsy. There is no known explanation why it happens.
It is not harmful, but frightening. People report feeling very afraid because they do not know what is happening. In some cases, when hypnogogic hallucinations are present, people feel that someone is in the room with them; some experience the feeling that someone or something is sitting on their chest and they feel impending death and suffocation.These things cause people much anxiety and terror, but there is no physical harm.
Treatment for Sleep Paralysis
Medications such as Sodium oxybate (Xyrem) may be prescribed as a cure for sleep paralysis in severe cases, but the best treatment for sleep paralysis is to reduce stress and get the proper amount of sleep. As it is associated with sleep disorders to a greater extent, if you are suffering from sleep disorders, try to take the necessary steps to solve it.

I am 42 years of age and I have been experiencing sleep paralysis since 9 years old. I am currently in the military and it has has become a very big problem at time such as now. I just rencently return back form Iraq and Kuwait and I have been experiencing some episodes upon my return. I have learn to just relax and never try to sleep on my back or on my sides, that when the attacks are prone to happen. I have learn to sleep on my back, although it still happens at time but I have learn to twitch my neck and try to jerk myself awake. Most of the time if I jerk it or switch it hard enough, I can come out of it.

The way I’ve learned to wake up my body when this happens is start breathing harder & harder until my body kicks in to gear from my deep breaths.
