I’ve actually had basically the same experience. I was watching myself from above sleep. I wasn’t frightened and it actually felt soothing and very real.

It's a glitch in your brain. Read up on brain science. Kinda like Deja vu. Your brain tricks you into thinking you saw a random glimpse before. This guy was having it 20 plus times a day. Medication fixed it.
Sleep paralysis works the same way. I used to get it every once in a while growing up. Then more frequently when I smoked weed every day for years. Sometimes twice a day. Quit. Went back to every so often. I noticed that when I had this sectional that was a little off kilter, it would happen when I fell asleep on it. I figured out that my head was sinking down.. resting lower than my feet. So I was teetering down slightly. Got it almost every time doing that. Switched in the opposite direction and never experienced it once.
It's just your brain.
Better Brain, Better Life is a good book to read.

You can put yourself in sleep paralysis if you lay on your back and fall asleep without moving your legs/arms and stay still.
The movement of your limbs and tossing/turning signals your body to start shutting down to sleep
I try to always move around a good bit before I fall asleep

I always thought it more flirting with astral projection/OBE (out-of-body experience).

Have you ever tried just powering through it and flipping yourself to the side to wake up?
It takes a lot if willpower, but it's better than just waiting it out.
That's what I do, but i experience it frequently due to medications i take.

I have gotten it occasionally since I was a kid. Unlike others, I don’t think I’ve ever seen or felt the weight of an actual other being. I have however always had a sense of dread to go with the total loss of control.

Sleep paralysis is some scary shite, real or not.
I've discussed it on this board a number of times, but the short of it is that I tend to just feel immobilized. Some people have a strong sense that there is someone in the room or a strong sense foreboding - this is what leads to people thinking of things like alien abduction or other such nonsense.
I don't ever get that feeling. Sometimes the rest of my brain isn't fully awake and I don't really understand what is going on. Sometimes I'm fully aware and I can "fight" it to some degree. One night I dozed off on the couch and found myself struggling to get up, almost like someone had magically turned up the force of gravity several times. I had managed to move my legs off of the couch but my face was buried into the cushions. The GF walking in and thought I was having a stroke. She freaked out and started shaking me and screaming - that fully woke me up
. I've had a sleep study and I don't suffer from apnea or anything of the like. I just don't have a good time sleeping
. I find the times when it occurs are fairly random (used to happen all the time when I was much younger). Some people can avoid it by avoiding sleeping in certain positions or foods or something else. None of those remedies have ever really worked for me.
