I’m 17 now, and ever since I can remember I have always had re-occuring situations of Sleep Paralysis. It’s one of the most frightening things I’ve ever experienced. I try to scream out for my parents, but nothing comes out.

Normally, to snap out of it, I try to twitch or move my neck and head. That normally does the trick and I’m conscious again (well for about 5 seconds then I fall back to sleep).

I always remember when sleeping over at my friends house, I’ve seen this shadowed figure standing over her bed and feeling absolutley terrified. I try to move my leg to kick my friend, but it won’t move, so I try to scream which never works. Then I twitch and I’m ok again.

. . . I try to avoid sleeping at her house now.

i have been experiencing sp since i was a teen and am 46 now. they say to not lie on back, but i feel more comfortable that way than on stomach or side because my sp has come more often in that way. i am awake but no movement for seconds until i just snap out of it. this is scary to me, but i understand what gets me in that situation. i have GAD and like to drink beer, not getting the proper rest among other things. it’s nice to know that i am not alone in this, but i wish these feelings would go away. i feel drained when i do wake up for the day, like emptiness inside. need to start exercising more, this seems to keep it at bay.

Thanks for this! I’ve actually been looking into neurofeedback for a while, do you know of any good consumer style products?

I started having sleep paralysis two years ago. First one I Know i had because I was stressed but now I have them sometimes just out the blue. The first time I felt like I was shaking so told my mum a was taking a fit but then told her everything else and she explained what had happened because she has had a few episodes herself. I hear very loud noises when it’s happening and sometimes feel like i’m taking a fit, i haven’t (so far) found a cure but now when it happens i try to think happy thoughts until it goes. You can feel really helpless though and be left with a strange feeling but i just laugh it off

so this is what i have, i experienced this four times last year. i was so frightened and i thought it was a ghost! i never had it before, but thanks alot i feel better with finally finding a logical explanation to go with my symptoms. has anyone experienced a mild tingling just like the paralysis of the foot but throughout your body?
