Life Sleep Paralysis - Page 3

Has anyone suffered from this? Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't move and I tried to yell but nothing came out. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.

Are you positive you weren’t out partying with this guy

I wake up suddenly because I stop taking breaths. I will wake up with a gigantic gasp.

That would be sleep apnea. You should probably have a sleep study done. I did and it helped me tremendously. Started getting much better sleep.

Agreed.

I never knew how tired I was until I wasn’t tired anymore.

It happened a few times when I was a teenager. The first time was truly the worst bc I thought I was in a dream and I was frozen while someone broke into my house.
Once it was explained to me, it wasn’t near as bad bc I could kind of read my way through it and remember that it wasn’t dangerous.

Nowadays I struggle from sleep anxiety and that my friends, is a bitch.

a couple of times the next morning when I was very drunk. I would "dream" I was lying there in my bed trying to get up and go but couldn't move or talk, now I'm realizing this was sleep paralysis. Must hav been brought on by extreme exhaustion in my case.

B_Ambuehl · 05-20-2018, 09:43 PM

I had 2 of them within a span of about 10 minutes some 5 years ago. Only time it's ever happened and still not sure it was actual sleep paralysis. I was staying at my moms for the holidays in the guest bedroom. I was laying on my side, almost asleep, when my 17 yr old at the time nephew comes in ****ing around and sits on my torso. I couldn't see him, but he was the only one that would mess around like that, so I think to myself, "Get off me dammit!" Only I couldn't talk or turn my head. Finally I get enough strength to turn my head to look, and there's nobody there. I think to myself, "Damn that was weird!" So I try to go back asleep and within minutes it immediately happens AGAIN, someone sitting or pushing on my chest. This time I snap right out of it and got up and looked around. Nothing. Thing is, the first time it happened I was only partially asleep but the 2nd time it happened I wasn't even close to being asleep.

A couple of days later I'm at the kitchen table alone in the house messing around on the computer when I hear my nephew come in thru the garage door like he always did. He shuts the door and I hear him throw his bag down and walk up the stairs to his room. I never looked up from the computer. About 20 minutes after that I hear the door to the garage open again and in comes my nephew. I look right at him and say, "Didn't you come in like 20 minutes ago?" He says, "No I'm just getting here" I said, "Someone came in 20 minutes ago I distinctly heard the door shut and someone walking upstairs." We went up and looked and there was definitely nobody else in the house. Then he said, "This happens all the time in this house we always hear footsteps, ESPECIALLY in that guest bedroom." So the guest bedroom, the entire time I was there, was INCREDIBLY cold. I had to wear a jacket every night to sleep, even with the heater on. I started doing the math and putting 2+2 together, still not sure if I had sleep paralysis or if something was ****ing with me. It's the only time I've ever experienced anything like that.

Um, don't sleep in that guest bedroom anymore.

My ex wife had that. Holy shit, what a mess. Huge strain on the marriage. I'm the type of person who's asleep about .2 seconds after my head hits the pillow. She on the other hand would sit there and worry and cry and get mad because I wouldn't stay awake with her. She would resent me for sleeping, and it was just the worst.

As someone else said: check out the movie The Nightmare if you haven't already. Really fascinating and horrifying. I was kind of freaked out and worried I was going to experience sleep paralysis after watching the movie (kind of a ringu effect).

Eleazar · 05-21-2018, 08:48 AM

I've had it happen on a few occasions. Not a pleasant situation at all. Mostly in my late 20s, early 30s... hasn't happened in a long time
