Have you experience sleep paralysis?

[Alwayreckles93]

If you had experience sleep paralysis , How was it. I have been experiencing sleep paralysis lately my doctor tells me coffee is reason of these episodes.

[UniquelyBasic]

Yes, It was very scary. I only had it one time and I dont know what caused it or what I did to make it go away though.

[Alwayreckles93]

Like what happened?

[UniquelyBasic]

It was a long time ago but I remember having some kind of scary figure walking to me and I felt a sense of impending danger like no other and I could see my room and everything but I couldn't move a muscle to save my life. Not sure how I got out of it, maybe from being too terrified, I eventually was able to move my body.

I have experienced it a few times over the past couple years ago. Very scary and time wise it's likely only for a couple of minutes but it feels like it lasts forever.

Thankfully never! I had a friend once and she had sleep p. very often and it was scary what she told me.

I hope it will get better for you 🙏🏼

[Alwayreckles93]

Thanks girl. What did she do to make it stop?

[melanieeeB]

Uhm I'm not sure if they ever stopped, but like she had a lot of mental problems too and I never got to know what happened to her, haven't seen her in years.
I just know that she always tried to move a finger to wake up and my last knowledge was, that she tried learning lucid dreaming as a way of control but I don't know if that helped

Ahh I see. Yes, caffeine is meant to keep you awake.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Let me elaborate. Your natural body clock tells you when you are tired and need sleep. Caffeine in excessive amounts stimulates the brain so the two are fighting each other. Paralysis is likely a cause of the struggle

[crossdressingrihno]

It used to be pretty common for me it stopped happening for whatever reason but hey

[Exterminatore]

No but my wife has it sometimes. I heard it can be terrifying.

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes Sir it is , For example you can hear , feel this scary creepy feeling and you have no control of your body you can't move at all.

[RealMarek]

Yes. Not being able to control breathing or to move is a bad feeling.

[OlderAndWiser]
