Sleep paralysis (old hag syndrome) is well documented and is the prime suspect in the salem witch trials. The fear part of the brain is close to the sexual part which is (i believe) that many sleep paralysis are accompanied by very lucid sexual dreams (inncubus and succubus for the ignorant) i believe it is synapsis misfiring.

When you go to sleep, your brain paralyzes your body on purpose. To stop you from acting out your dreams, more or less. This is a raelly well known phenomenon, and has a really weird way of expressing itself.. ...You ever heard of the "hag" story? it was a way cultures understood this, back during the Stupid Age. The people who went through what you did would see a hag, or something similar, sitting on their chest.

Another website also mentioned that sleep paralysis or old hag syndrome can be caused by stress, insomnia, and lack of exercise. So I try to avoid those as much as possible. I also remember fearing for my safety and sanity. I was on the verge of calling my health insurance agent if my situation was covered. I just felt really lost and scared, but I didn't call the agent. I was scared he might think I was going crazy. Anyway, I hope I helped somehow.

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.

I have had these experiences many times. It's sleep paralysis. Our religious beliefs cause us to fear it. But our spiritual connection should reassure us that God did not give us a spirit of fear! I experienced this during my first trimester when all I could do was sleep! It was around 10am and I remember waking up and knowing someone was in the hallway at my bedroom door. I couldn't move.

That is until I started having my lucid dreams and doing more research in the sleep and dream field. Sleep paralysis is very very common during your teenage years and early 20s. If it continues after that then yes, you could have narcolepsy. However I do not believe it is anything evil.

This can be reset by bright light therapy, sleeping pills and sometimes by sleep debt. In sleep debt, though you happen to sleep late, you condition yourself to get up early; this in turn will help you to sleep early. So, try this, but if your symptoms still persist, I would advise you to discuss your symptoms with your primary care physician who may then refer you to a sleep specialist for further evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

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.

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.

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.

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?

All I knew is that it seemed so real and I would keep the lights on. I had the sleep paralysis also where I was trying to move but could not and trying to say, "Help" but the words would not come out. It was frightening. I would often recite the Lord's prayer. My daughter though has also had the paralysis in her sleep, so not sure if it is PSTD associated alone as she did not have the abusive childhood I did.

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.
