Experiencing Sleep Paralysis: How Often and What Does it Feel Like?

Had it a lot when I was a teenager so way pre diagnosis. I was able to train myself to wake myself up in the midst and practiced better sleep hygiene. Try sleeping in your side or stomach rather than on your back

I think it's hard to recognize and then to remember times I've experienced sleep paralysis. The first time I knew it was happening was during one of my sleep studies. The woman who came in to check on me after I woke up asked me why I wasn't moving yet because she thought I was maybe hurt or something. My body was just not yet cooperating even though my mind felt awake and alert.. Like my brain and body had a delay in communication. I'm not sure if this makes any sense...lol. It's hard to explain!

Have experienced it but for me I when it occurs It usually ends with me back asleep

I actually have stopped having sleep paralysis - not completely but partially due to my meds! Yayyy!

I did, pre and post diagnosis but xyway has stopped it now. I would get more episodes when my sleep hygeine was off and when my stress levels were high, im so sleepy now ill post layer about how it feels... simply put horror movies got nothing on sleep paralysis but i did have a few episodes that wernt scary
