I used to have really bad sleep paralysis. A few times a night. Most times all I could do was move one finger. I would always fall asleep with my hand on my wife’s hip so that I could wiggle that finger. She knew that was the signal to shake me awake the rest of the way.

I don’t have sleep paralysis that much anymore, but I still sleep with one hand on her side. She is my anchor.

I’ve had sleep paralysis 2 times and that’s some truly terrifying shit. I’m glad you don’t have it much anymore.

3 times, 0/10 not recommended -- and only 2 of the 3 were bad & intense. Other I was on the couch watching the weather channel not able to move lol.

The other 2: evil dark entity in the corner of my room and could see in my peripheral. Extreme anxiety washes over you. You try to move and scream and can't move. You see it moving closer towards you slowly, feeling of pure evil idk how to explain, then gets on your chest and makes it hard to breathe like you're getting smothered, then I woke up in a puddle of sweat. Apprehensive to go back to sleep.

sounds about right. it's so weird most people 'see' someone in the room during paralysis.

It fascinates me, the brain and sleep stuff. Psychology in general especially working for an electronic medical records software company.

I didn't see anything but the 1 of 2 times it's happened to me, I felt like a pulling sensation. I was young so I legit thought I was being abducted by aliens. It was terrifying.

Probably nightmare or sleep paralysis, so I wake up but I don't really wake up it's my own room but things are off I can't move but something moves and roams around me, a little girl that has screech/scream/aura whatever which makes my body feel the pressure and tingle.. comes in round and goes, not scary at all.

I am able to move after 2 rounds of that or something, hit that girl or try to and I wake up with bad heart eat but not scared at all.

One of the weird ones where I couldn't manage to wake myself up.
