sleep paralysis get

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. This also may be of interest to you: I have a service dog whose primary task is medical alert.

Do you know why you get sleep paralysis? Such as stress, random sleep eppisodes, naps during the day, etc etc. Also, do you get pain in the neck? Like a stricking pain going up your neck, it's a fast but very uncomfortable experience.

Like my mom said, I used to get it and be really frightened of it. But at some point I started looking up on the internet, found out about sleep paralysis and read up whatever articles I could find. The ones I found most reassuring where the articles that had a scientific/medical base and left out the supernatural element. Also I learned the parlysis part is natural when the body gets into REM mode. What isn't quite natural is that you are awake durring that REM stage.

Maybe you are waking in your REM cycle? I've done that a few times. It's strange it happens so many times in one night.......

Hi, suffered sleep paralysis for decades now. No voices etc, just paralysis. WHY doesn't the medical world take an interest in this phenomena, which is more common than I think is believed? It is left to the realm of cultural myths, alien abduction theories, generalized medical mumbling about anxiety - the definition of anything they do not understand or think will get them into trouble by not investigating.

I actually get sleep paralysis as well... It won't harm your baby at all.

When am able to just move my finger it breaks the paralsis , I go back to sleep. I get a a electric charge before I go to sleep this warns me that paralysis is coming.

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.

Nobody but sufferers appreciate the absolute horror of sleep paralysis. A lot of us get it very occasionally. I sympathise with you fully as I get it most nights sometimes twice a night, and it is always terrifying. I just get the paralysis, but the other sensations are also very common in many people. What has happened is that your mind has woken or continues to be awake as your body enters a sleep state.

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.

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?

Hi all, The other night, I went though what I believe to have been a moment of sleep paralysis. It was in the morning when I had woken up too early and tried to get back to sleep for another hour or so. I can't really describe, but I felt like I had a concious control over my dream, like I was aware of what was going on during it. Well, it turned into a nightmare where I was drowning and the next thing I knew I felt as though I was paralyzed.

Hi, I have this also. There is a clinical name for it but I don't rememvber it! Alot of people actually experience this disorder.

My experiences have been waking up with eyes open, mind totally alert but unable to move a single muscle for several minutes andr unable to scream, etc.

Looks like sleep paralysis. Sleep on your sides.

I have a friend who has sleep paralysis episodes and she says my experience sounds like sleep paralysis. After what felt like forever I snapped out of it and was able to breathe and I just went back to sleep. But I also am curious if anything like this could be related to Chiari - perhaps it was not sleep paralysis? I just know I was very confused and terrified and I hope it never happens again.

Every now and then, I'd get sleep paralysis. I can't figure out exactly when I get them. Sometimes, I would go for 2 months or more without any, but sometimes, I get up to 3 a night! I usually get it if I sleep on the back of my head as opposed to sleeping on my side. Why is this so?

They've really started to disrupt my sleep Last night was another such night. Up almost all night, even though I was exhausted. Just as I'm drifting off to sleep, I get the sensation of my heart stopping, which jolts(hits) me awake. Sometimes it makes me literally jump up in bed... Any advice?
