What is your opinion on this , going to sleep and not being able to wake up?

[niki_werd23]

So I go to sleep , thing is I know that I’m sleeping, and dreaming, but I can’t wake up from this dream …., I hear myself shouting and screaming to wake up , pinching myself in this “dream” to wake up ….. I even pray to wake up , building up fear that I’m stuck in a dream and can’t wake up , after some time I finally wake up … what is this? Is this sleep paralysis or am I crazy lol

It’s so scary sometimes, because I know it’s a dream , and that I’m currently dreaming, but it’s like my brain can’t wake up for shit …..

It sounds like sleep paralysis. Look up the causes of sleep paralysis and some treatments. You can try to figure out what causes it and what you can do about it.


My boyfriend deals with sleep paralysis sometimes... It’s usually because he doesn’t get enough sleep, he uses a lot of caffeine, he changes his sleep schedules a lot, and he sleeps on his back. If that sounds like what you do, you should change that immediately.

Oh gosh tbh that sounds like me too , I’m a first time mum , my sleeping is fucked , I drink a lot of coffee , energy drinks … maybe that also makes it worse, hmm thank you for your opinion and advice 😄

Oh girl, that’s just a recipe for sleep paralysis and overall sleep issues! I give you props though, being a momma is hard. I would try to cut down on the caffeine, especially at night or in the afternoons. That might help regulate your sleep a bit and decrease these issues.

That's Lucid dream for sure with Sleep paralysis also I guess.

I've had this happen to me before. Its one of the scariest things I've experienced where you're aware but are helpless to do anything about it. I dont really know what caused it or how I got over it, maybe I was just really stressed out and tired.

Incidentally I just experienced it lol earlier while sleeping🤣, to be honest I've been experiencing it a lot lately, it feels like my chest is tight and short of breath.

You're probably crazy.

[KrakenAttackin]

This sounds like a psychological issue.
