![]() Understanding that it's the result of a very natural process and is rather common (most people will experience at least one episode at some time during their life) is the best tool to defend against the fear and anxiety that can rise up while you are in the middle of an episode, as you describe.Īnother thing that may help with this is reading about the sleep paralysis experience of others. And now that you're experiencing episodes with some frequency, you should try to learn about why sleep paralysis happens, if you don't already know. You give such a perfect description of what sleep paralysis usually feels like. Kevin: Hey Meghan, thanks so much for sharing this. I'm afraid to sleep now, and don't know what to do differently. It scares me not to be able to move, I am trying so hard to open my eyes, and yell for my roommate, or pound on the wall.only to have no success. What's weird is the fact that I feel like I'm going through hell while experiencing this, but I wake up feeling totally fine. I felt like as soon as that happened, I fell right back into the paralysis, and then eventually became unfrozen. Today it happened, and I couldn't move, I tried very hard to break through the "force" and was slowly able to move my fingers/hands and eventually opened my eyes. Overall it has happened frequently over the past 3 weeks. I can recall a few experiences that happened when I was living at home as well. I am currently living in the dorms at school, and have experienced this about 3-4 times since I moved in.
