Common Questions and Answers about Sleep paralysis evil

What you are experiencing is called sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations. Sleep paralysis happens when you start to wake out of a dream but your brain wakes up while your body is still paralyzed (during REM or dream sleep you are paralyzed so you wont hurt yourself acting out your dreams).
The hypnogogic hallucinations are related. Do you have panic attacks or narcolepsy by any chance? My doctor told me both those problems make your specific sleep problems more likely.
So weird, my sleep paralysis stopped since I got pregnant. I'll give you my tip of advice. Once you have it in your mind that sleep paralysis is NOT a bad thing only then will you be able to deal with it. The more you fight it, the scarier it is and the harder it is to get away from. So when you feel it happening, instead of trying so hard to get up just realize that its only sleep paralysis and relax, stop fighting it. When I do that I feel so much better.
Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to REM atonia, the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. When it occurs upon falling asleep, the person remains aware while the body shuts down for REM sleep, and it is called hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis.
During the process i am paralysed but fully aware of whats happening(its like i become fully conscious from my semi conscious state),i actually want to scream for help but im unable to do so.its almost like sleep paralysis except mine is accompanied with a violent shaking of my brain(feels like this) or my head and an intense feeling of terror.i dont lose consciousness afterwards rather i wake up completely. Sometimes ill hear voices and it often feels like an evil experience.
Whenever I hear about sleep paralysis I often hear similar symptoms such as not being able to move your body or speak, and being awake from your sleep with your eyes open. People with this condition would also feel or see an "evil" presence around them. However in my case, my eyes are shut, I'm able to make noise from my mouth, I don't feel any danger around me, but my body feels rigid while I know I'm conscious. There's always a strange feeling whenever this occurs.
sounds to me like sleep paralysis. you can find a lot of info about this on the net. i was shocked i thought i was the only one. it very well may be genetic from what i have read. my father also has it. i rarely get it anymore but it was common when i was a little kid. i would feel paralyzed and couldnt talk or yell. it also felt like i could not breathe. it would seem like i would wake up in the same room but it would be slightly different and i would see many hallucinations.
Unfortunately, there is no practical way to decipher between normal REM sleep and sleep paralysis. This is because in normal REM sleep you experience the same paralysis as in sleep paralysis; the only difference is your level of consciousness at the time. So there's no way to develop a sensor that an app could use to address this issue.

My personal experience is that I was having apnea events during REM when I had sleep paralysis. I have only experienced it once or twice since starting apnea therapy (CPAP) and have been able to correlate it with the data from my machine that, yup, I was having an apnea when it happened.
Have you had a sleep study done? Do you have symptoms of apnea? It's worth checking out. I'm glad I did. I feel SO much better now.
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an entity called sleep paralysis. When this happens in sleep the person has difficulty moving his hands or feet. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior.
I am a 20F, I am currently taking adderol 20mg when I need to study, and Xanax to help me with panic attack, as well as Suboxone. I have been suffering with hypnopompic Sleep Paralysis- I wake up, usually from a day-time nap, unable to move or talk. I always brushed it off as a dream until it lasted for about an hour, I fell on the floor and was found there. During this time of Paralysis i got overheated, excessive sweating, and couldnt stop biting my tongue.
I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time last night. It was absolutely terrifying. I couldn't wake up no matter how hard i tried and when I was about to wake up I would be dragged right back into the horrible dream I was having Is anyone else experiencing sleep paralysis for the first time while pregnant.
Last night I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time and it was terrifying. I felt like I was being tortured and heard noises but I could not talk or even muffle any sounds. I was unable to sleep for awhile before this and only slept for two hours. Yesterday was also the three year anniversary of my mothers death who I was very close to so I am sure this was not a coincidence. Is this most likely an isolated incident by stress and the situation or should I be concerned?
