Does anybody here have sleep paralysis?

Let’s hope you don’t

I used to get it a lot, but havent had it in a while until recently and this past 3 weeks Ive had it probably 6 times. It sucks, but Ive learned how to get out of it. The first 2-3 times were absolutely horrifying

I have it once or twice a year.

There have been a few big threads about it over the years.

I think I experienced it once. Kind of scary, really.

Used to have it A LOT.
Get it a lot less frequently now. Maybe 2-3 times a year. Now that I know what it is, I don't tense up when it happens.

I had a woman standing at the foot of my bed and she crawled up next to me and bit my face and started whispering an unknown language in my ear. Yeah.. kinda scary.

I used to have it quite often and it really sucked. It got to the point I’d sleep in certain positions to make it easier to force myself awake or feel less restrictive. Even tho I knew in my head what was going on, it was still sometimes scary as shite.

The main two factors I felt contributed to causing it was irregular sleep pattern and/or drinking caffeine too close to going to falling sleep. The later I think had the biggest impact. I quit drinking energy drinks or caffeine after noon and haven’t had an episode in a long time. They’ve become a lot more rare.
