You wake up, but you feel numb. You try to get up, but your body won't listen. You're screaming in your head to move, but you just can't, you're paralyzed. You try to open your mouth to call for help, but nothing comes out. You suddenly start to feel very frightened and your heart starts racing. You feel like someone is sitting on your chest and you can't breath. You start seeing things and hearing noises, usually bad. Your head starts to feel really heavy like you're tired, but for some reason you're scared to go back to sleep because, you feel that if you do, you won't wake up. Then BOOM, you either fall back asleep immediately or suddenly you're able to move again. If you have experienced this you're either demon possessed, or you have Sleep Paralysis.

But don't be scared. If you have this condition, in my experience with this, I find it helpful to sleep on your stomach or side. DO NOT sleep on your back, I hear this makes it more likely to happen. BUT when it occurs don't fight it. Stay calm and remain relaxed, because the harder you fight the longer it will take to regain mobility. Do not panic because this will make it harder to breathe. The reason why it's hard to breathe is because you are paralyzed, your musles are not moving, so your chest does not move with your lungs. When/if you start to hallucinate, know that it is your imagination and none of it is real. If you start to feel tired, don't fight the sleep, nothing will happen to you.

Sleep Paralysis occurs when you wake up during the REM cycle. Your body paralyzes itself during this cycle so you don't act out your dreams. (There is a condition were a persons body does not paralyze itself, and they act out their dreams violently.)This also explains hallucinations. Your body is in the dream state, so you're simply seeing your dream in reality. Hopefully I helped somoeone. Following these tips I have been able to avoid Sleep Paralysis.
