What Can I Do About My Sleep Paralysis?
Posted by: Alan in Sleep Disorder, tags: About, Paralysis, Sleep, What
It only happens when i have afternoon naps. I hear everything see everything, i can see my eye lids fluttering cause i cant fully open them, but i cant move, speak or scream for the life of me. This has been happening to me for 5 years now. It used to happen w/ hallucinatins where i would see things but now im pretty much use to them and just cant move. However recently iv been having them and im scared again because it feels like im trying to snore, yes snore, but cant or it feels like im snoring loudly . In my sleep im trying to snore loudly so my brother wakes me (im usually on the couch for naps) up but he says im not making a sound. Any expert or some one with experience on this sleep disorder pls give me advice. what can i do?could it be an actual medical problem? Im scared im not breathing and thats why it feels like im snoring but im actually not?

Gee, for 5 years? : I used to have it like 2 years ago, without the hallucinations, I just felt like.. stuck in my body, pretty awful experience! What usually did work for me was to think hard about waking up or not get panicked and try to get back to sleep, but the real problem was the stress I had at the time. That’s what I believe caused them in my case.
Do visit the website I linked below. Some interesting info to understanding sleep paralysis, plus some treatment advice. Hopefully they’ll be helpful to you! :]
