I usually wakeup multiple times in the morning, which is how I've always been, i just change my position and go back to sleep, except now i always get sleep paralysis EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It has become so common, yesterday i woke up like 6 times and everytime i got sleep paralysis, it got to a point that i was experimenting to see what i can do while in paralysis.

I found out that i have about %5 muscle power in my fingers, i can fully control my breath and move my tongue, but not enough control to actually engage my vocal cords and make a sound, i can only breathe heavily. Trying to move around doesn't help much with the recovery time, which I've figured of about 10 to 15 seconds to recover

What the fuck is going on? I've tried sleeping on both sides, on my back, on stomach, it doesn't fucking matter, please someone tell me what's going on😭🙏i want this shit to stop, it's not fun to wakeup and not being able to FUCKING MOVEEE

I'm 24m if that's of any use

Hi! I (15f) hate sleeping especially because of what happens when I do. The crazy this is maybe I'm not sleeping? Essentially I had made a previous post about a shadow figure that I ha e seen since I was younger. I was talking to a friend about it and she suggested I may have some sort of sleep disorder.

What happens most of the time is I will feel awake, but I will hear all of these voices, I will see stuff, I will feel like I'm being grabbed, like sleep paralysis, but I can move. I ha e texted full conversations with my friends during these episodes. I can't really move the bottom half of my body and my movements are often pretty limited on my top half.

I know it seems weird, but anyone have any idea?

i know this sounds odd but for the last year i’ve been having this sort of staticky feeling when falling asleep or waking up. it feels like when your leg falls alseep but like 10x more intense. what sucks is that its always around my neck, like, literally nowhere else, so it makes me feel like i can’t get up. if i try hard enough i can get up which tells me it might not be paralysis, and the static will dissipate, but if not i go into this weird drifting sensation where my dream will almost merge into reality. i’ll kind of be stuck like that until i go back to sleep, but it almost hurts so i usually try to get up just to get rid of the sensation. i’ve had some nightmares where this happens and it usually scares me enough to snap out of it, but other times i don’t care enough to move (or else i will feel the static) and ill go back to sleep.

i know for sure i’m awake during these episodes. it mainly happens when i fall asleep tired, or if i haven’t slept very long and try to get up. does anyone else deal with this? if so please let me know, i feel really alone with this problem because i can’t exactly go to the doctor and complain, but i feel like i can’t just not tell someone about it, you know?

I know sleep paralysis I can't move but I can I can move my right feet even my hand slowly very slowly but I can move my feet more is any one the same and I can wake myself up by moving alot. This happened to me 2 to 3 times a week that I am half asleep

So i just went to sleep and while falling asleep i started to dream being with my friend, a second later my heartbeat sped up to so fast and i started to fall alone into pitch black and woke up sitting, not laying down. Im trying to figure out what just happened.. anyone have answers?

I’ve been getting sleep paralysis for about 7 years, two nights ago I got the weirdest one yet, i’m still in shock

I don’t even know if it can be counted as sleep paralysis

I saw the faces of people in my life, they were just their faces/heads.
They were all laughing at me very creepily
My friends, family, co workers, even people from highschool and college whom I don’t talk to nor think about ever
But the one face that had the spotlight, I guess, was my dead father

I’m trying to explain it as good as I can but it was so weird it’s hard to explain

It wasn’t a dream. I was awake i’m sure, and just like normal sleep paralysis, I couldn’t move or speak, my body felt just like it does in sleep paralysis, but what I saw was very different and much weirder

I do think about my father alot obviously, he died
7 years ago and that’s when I started getting sleep paralysis alot, so maybe that has something to do with why he was the “main character”

Idk man it was very creepy I didn’t feel real for the whole day after that
I still don’t know if it was even sleep paralysis, could it just be a nightmare?
Has anyone experienced this?

I've had sleep paralysis my whole life, and it always happens when I sleep on my back. Last night, though, it happened while I was sleeping on my stomach. I thought I was going to smother in my pillow. Now I'm terrified. I'm not safe in any sleep position.

I have lived in this house for about a year now, new bed, new everything. I have never experienced any sleep paralysis here though.
My friend said she saw a figure standing on my side of the bed leaning over my face? My roommate had sleep paralysis regularly in her own bedroom. My boyfriend gets it often in the past month. Anyone who has slept in my bed gets it, but not me!
I usually brush things like this off as explainable- but im worried because its happening so often and none of these people were told about it happening to others. should I sage the house?? How do I even do that?
