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.

I am always, without fail tired when I wake up in the morning regardless of how much sleep I get. I have just come to accept that this is the way that I am. It has been awesome reading that other people also experience these things. I saw the mention of sleep apnea and narcolepsy?

Sleep paralysis occurs when you may go to sleep or may tend to wake up from sleep. It is a temporary phenomenon where you are incapable of moving your body or even part of it physically but keep trying to shout loudly or seek someone’s help. It may be lasting for a few seconds to minutes. It can repeat once again if you sleep and there is no physical injury to body, but you will be probably frightened with sweating and increased heart beat with shortness of breath.

Hi There,
I suffer from this too and have been (on and off) for years now. I, like you, do not see anything but have ALOT of fear that something is in my room trying to kill me. I have spoken to medical professionals and they all say it is either caused by alcohol (or drug) consumption or irregular sleep patterns.
I know your pain because I go through this and there is nothing more frightening than it. And, this condition has been documented through history.
Has his fever gone down how does he seem in himself could he have any tummy pain ? There is such a thing as night terrors ,does he sleep in his own room or is another child sharing, any TV in the room may be on before he goes to sleep. Try having soothing stories and music before bed, no loud or stimulating cartoons .
i am 22 years old and have suffered from what i think are night terrors since i was 16 or 17. they have become more consistent in the past 4 years. when i experience these supposed night terrors, it usually happens when i first wake up, i see an image the moment i open my eyes and it terrifies me, my heart rate goes up and i start screaming.
My nephew has been on 50mg tremedol and is in the process of weening off but along with expected symptoms he's having horrific night terrors is this normal. He suffers with anxiety and its really worrying as he's convinced he's getting slapped, punched and even that 'something' tried to choke him, he's convinced himself its something other than nightmares and its crucifying to see him like this. has anyone else ever suffered with this?

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.
