Topic	Any B8ers have experience dealing with sleep paralysis?

I very rarely experience this sort of in-between state of sleeping and being awake, which may be sleep paralysis, where it feels like my body is asleep but I am awake, and it usually comes with a sense of fear but not physically seeing something. I always try to move my body but it's stuck in place despite what feels like a tremendous amount of effort to force any movement. It sucks but I've found that if I really exert myself and focus I can eventually move and kind of snap out of it into a state of being fully awake. Yeah, this sounds almost exactly like what's been happening to me. The one hallucination that really messed me up the other night was when I didn't put in that effort to move and snap out of it, so uhhh lesson learned. pjbasis posted... I had one where I fell asleep on my bed in the middle of the day, so when I hallucinated I thought my friends had come over to pick me up from plans we had made. I heard my mother greet them, walk up the stairs to my room, and even saw them poke their head in. They laughed at me and told me to get up, and my inability to respond just made them laugh harder. I even thought it was pretty funny at the time, if a little embarrassing. They're not always terrifying! Though I've had a few of those too. I've had a couple like this too! Definitely less scary when it's someone you'd be happy to see, haha wg64Z posted... Defintely get tested for Sleep Apnea as well, this can make you feel like you're bouncing between dream land and the real world since your body never settles into a deep enough sleep. Once I got my CPAP machine I never got sleep paralysis. I've been tested for it before and apparently don't have it, but it would explain so many random problems in my life that I'm definitely considering being tested again... Llarian posted... Does this happen before sleep? I have an undefined amount of time before I actually drift off where my body feels like it can't move but I am conscious. No hallucinations or anything, just lucid thoughts like 'I wish I could sleep', haha. Yeah from what research I've done it can happen either before fully falling asleep or before fully waking up. For me personally it's hard to tell the difference. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. <cite>Kenri posted [p:956265557] in Any B8ers ...
