Common Questions and Answers about Sleep paralysis out of body experience
sleep
Okay I am going to do the best I can to explain what I experience while I'm asleep. I can be asleep and all of a sudden its like I wake up, I can't move any part of my body, I can't speak, at first I couldn't open my eyes, but now I can, but I can hear whatever is going on around me, whether it be the tv, or family talking, dogs barking, just everything. I read a post where someone refer's to this as a out of body experience, and he goes on to say he has done this and that.
I actually posted this on another similar forum, but I was trying to find out more about it since the same thing was happening to me. Thought I'd share again... This started happening to me when I was in my late teens. It has happened to me from time to time ever since. I'm now in my late 30s.
What happens in the sleep paralysis is that while arousal system has brought you out of the REM phase, your body still is paralysed. This is the short phase of time when one gets dreams of being paralysed. Some people see themselves lying on the railway track with the train approaching, but can't move a muscle. There are experiences of being paralyzed while one can see and hear the surrounding.
This is definitely not something made up by your mind. It has a scientific basis to it.
In particular, anyone with too high pillow during sleep is bound to experience recurring sleep paralysis all night.

Yes, about 7 hours of sleep per night is ok if you are also able to manage atleast 1-2 hours of sleep in daytime. Stress could be either mental or physical and end of day if you are in a run down state it could lead to sleep depravation, so try to relax and have lot of liquids. Alprazolam can be taken before bed time for few days. Do update on your doctor advise. Take care.
ve experienced sleep paralysis many times ever since I started college but have never had any symptoms of further sleep problems or narcolepsy. It turns out, after doing pretty extensive research, that sleep paralysis can happen alone without being brought on by a sleep disorder. It can be brought on by stress, an off-balance sleep schedule or lack of sleep, and other things which can throw off your sleep cycle.
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.

One time that i went through this experience, i astral projected, or had an out of body experience. i arose out of my own physical body and floated in mid air, and then i saw this ungodly looking monster gazing up on me, walking towards me. i woke up out of fear. Again this was the one time when i actually astrally projected.
Other times i go through sleep paralysis, i either hear voices, or sence this overwhelming cloud of darkness/negativity around me, or hovering above me.
I know the feeling man, I'm 27 and have had bouts of sleep paralysis since the age of 13, when I lay down I feel it coming on by way of an electric like surge in my head, by that time I'm usually to week to move as it seems to drain all my energy, once I slip into paralysis I feel as though my whole body is being shocked, sometimes it hurts and then other times for whatever reason it feels really good, I also hear a wide range of noises ranging from loud ringing which is sometimes so lo

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'm a smoker, who usually smoke 15 cigarettes a day. I'm 31, and am not diabetic, or have any major prob, except a history of stomach ulcer. Now, here is my prob. This is not regular, it has happened many times in past 3 years. When I'm on my bed trying to sleep (and this happens when I'm tensed and only happens when I sleep facing up) and when I just slip into sleep, somewhere between consciousness and sleep, I suddenly feel blood gushing into my head.
i think i had a mild episode of sleep paralysis lastnight. i could not move, my body was tingling, my heart beat was increased. i was able to come out of it and then tried to go back to sleep and it happened again for another few seconds and i as able to come out of it but it was hard. this happened another time, maybe 6 monthes ago and i do not want this to worsen.
I had occasional episodes of sleep paralysis when I became symptomatic with chiari. At first I didn't know what was happening but after some research I realized it was sleep paralysis upon awakening. These episodes would always happen when I woke with my neck in a strange position, usually turned to the side with my chin down. Now, I am 3 months post op and I fell asleep on the couch the other day with my neck in a bad position and it happened again.
some nights I'd wake up, and be completely paralysed, only able to move my eyes. I wouldnt be able to speak, or move any other part of me. I'd have a great sense of fear, and It'd take a few minutes to come out and back to normal, then I could completely move and everything would be fine again, I'd just be abit shocked as to what just happened, I started to get this more and more, to the point where it was 6-10 times a night..so I cut out ALL caffine.
For those that have not been diagnosed as of yet, do you experience it? I haven been experiencing it for 6 weeks straight, serveral time in a row while falling asleep.
