Question: I get Sleep Paralysis from time to time. In most cases, for some reason I get it when I’m trying to go to sleep when I’m not tired. I have experienced it at bedtime too though of course.
When I first started to experience Sleep Paralysis I was very scared & thought I was going to die. This was due to the trouble you get when breathing and I thought I was going to stop breathing. Which I think is down to panic during the paralysis from experience. And I really did fight to move my arms or legs and couldn’t.Fortunately I’ve had no weird visions and I think I have managed to open my eyes during paralysis for a few seconds. I am slowly getting used to it now and when I do experience it I have trained myself to not panic in the situation.As I don’t panic as much now during paralysis I find it is easier to breath and even though I can’t move I think to myself don’t worry you will snap out of this soon and in turn it seems to make the paralysis trips a lot shorter than what they were.So anyone else who gets it next time it happens try to relax; although it is easier said than done but for me it has worked to a certain extent.
