Do you get sleep paralysis?

Sleep paralysis is when you wake up, but cant move for a short period of time. People sometimes get hallucinations when this happens and it can happen to anybody. Has this ever happened to you? Do you get it often?

No I don't, thankfully.

I THINK it has happened to me. That is, it has happened, but since I never spoke to a doctor about it, I can't say that it technically, clinically was sleep paralysis.

I get it sometimes and it's one of the most frustrating things ever, it's like you feel awake and want to move but no matter how hard you try you just can't move. I wish there was a way to stop that from happening.

http://www.wikihow.com/Cope-with-Sleep-Paralysis #7: "Focus on body movement. During sleep paralysis you may find that you are able to move a part of your body.(Many times your feet or your fingers)Just keep moving this body part as fast as you can and you will find yourself awake in no time." you can sometimes only move your fingers, so i usually move my fingers, than my wrist, than bend my arm, and when im able to do that i move it across my body (when im sleeping on my back) in such a way that i move onto my side and it wakes me up

Yes, I have gotten that. Mostly when I was a kid, but it still happens now and again. I've learned to control it like I do all dreams. I kinda force myself to "move."

Only once, as a really sick child.

I didn't even know it was called sleep paralysis if this fourm didn't tell me so.

When I wake up from a bad dream where I shouldn't have woken up, then I would be paralyzed for about 2-3 seconds. Freaky stuff

ah ok. ive never had it before so i didntknow the mechanics around it.:P

i just figured you were just paralyzed and couldnt move at all until the feeling passes.

Never personally had it.

You're body naturally has a period of paralyis during sleep. Otherwise you'd be thrashing about, acting out dreams. There is actually a disorder where people do just that.

I think I've experienced this. It's a state where you're asleep but somewhat conscious. It's happened to me when I slept far too long and I'll wake up in an anxious fit. It was not pleasant.

I used to get it really frequently, not so much anymore.

Usually when I fell asleep somewhere that is not my bed.

It really sucks though, u feel really helpless, but u can't wake urself up. Sometimes I could wiggle a bit, or move my foot, and I would try to make myself fall so that I would wake up.

No but my body does spasm sometime when I'm sleeping. It's like a jolt of electricity surges through my body.



Go ahead and diagnose that all knowing forum.

Nope, that has never happened to me

This happens to me when I don't get a lot of sleep and I'm forced into REM as soon as I lie down.

Usually some soothing classical music and laying on my stomach stops it.

Not really. At least in the sense that most people experience it (waking up into it)...

I can...however...induce it 'artificially'.

Mhmm.

One time I felt like I was being electrocuted, another time I saw loads of roaches crawling up my wall, the last time I seriously had it I saw a ghost woman come over me. It's all related to stress in my life I would assume, since every time it happened I was going through something incredibly stressful.

Thank god I don't

Yes, I've seen the "old hag" once when I was younger. Thankfully, I haven't had another since.

I get it 90% of the time I take mid day naps. lonewolf604
