Avatar n tn You might want to look at other avenues such as paranormal experiences, it is said that some people are more sensitive and can have actual sightings were other people do not, you have had this for awhile so it could be your ability, if you do not believe in these things then talk to someone in mental health about what is going on, but if it is a paranormal experience dont be afraid it is a gift and you should not be scared of it, maybe you can find others like you and see if perhaps there is s
503651 tn?1223174601 Hello does anyone know how to snap out of sleep paralysis? I am having it weekly now and sometimes it gets very. scary. I always know that i am having a sleep paralysis episode but i never realize that the hallucinations are not real. If any one has had this or has any idea on how to snap out of it please let me know. Thanks!
568812 tn?1379165794 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I can't help but to be afraid, its a very scary experience.. I wish I would hear from ppl that have been thru the same thing and could give me a lil insight on it. I dont like it all, I wish I knew how to make it stop. But thanks for commenting on my question, I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to...
Avatar f tn So besides the point both of my parents HATE God & LOVE Satan but I'm baptised & believe in other things some may not.. But I swear I keep hearing things all around my house & someone walking up & down the stairs. & someone chuckling every time I get scared! I'm so beyond scared, I had PSTD, Anxiety, & stuff like that so I'm trying my best not to stress about it for my child's sake but I'm freaking out!!
1301089 tn?1290666571 Hi! I've had paranormal experiences from childhood on. I don't advertise this. I guess I just did! But for those I talk to on a casual basis and even my own family, I'd never tell what I've seen and felt. I know my children have inherited this ability. We were touring old homes while on vacation. That's when I first learned that they could sense them as well. Sometimes I think we're magnets for the paranormal. We can't seem to escape it.
Avatar m tn sleep paralysis and hypnagogic (and less frequently, hypnopompic) hallucinations. Sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations are most likely to occur when you have a sleep deficit (have been getting less sleep than you need multiple days in a row, causing a "build-up" of missed sleep) or are sleep-deprived (such as "pulling an all-nighter").
Avatar m tn It sounds like it could be sleep paralysis to me. I do that all the time. I thought it was "night terrors." I'm fully aware of everything around me, can hear and everything but can't scream out, can't move, nothing. I learned it was common with narcolepsy. You need to go see your primary care doctor and/or get a referral to a sleep specialist.
Avatar n tn This is definitely not sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis occurs when a person is either falling asleep or coming out of sleep. And the person has dreams and other experiences which can be frightening, mostly. Sleep apnea is a condition where a person stops breathing for a short span of time (usually 10 seconds or so). Snoring is also observed. But sleep apnea does not allow a person to have deep sleep. He may just be normal.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn ve been taking either Adderall or Provigil for over a year and have not had experiences like that while on these medications. I do experience sleep paralysis-like occurrences upon waking from a dream every so often, but not frequently, maybe once every few months.
1063386 tn?1287878569 I looked it up and to me it looked like I have sleep paralysis...google it sometime. Basically, when you go to sleep, your brain sends a signal (or hormone) to shut off your nerve function so that you don't act out your dreams. With Sleep paralysis, your conscious mind wakes up before your brain has sent a signal to start your nerve function again. It is really interesting...I wonder how many others of us have had this?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn hello. My name is Alex. I was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome when i was 12 and am currently 16. I come from a family with a history of autism and my great uncle had both autism and epilepsy which led to him being in residential care the majority of his life.
Avatar f tn As I understand you experience episodes of 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.
