Does anyone else have frequent sleep paralysis?


Question:
If you don't know what it means it is when you are dreaming and you are aware of your surroundings (awake but asleep) and you either hear or see something ghostly or feel as if something is keeping you from moving, talking, or is putting pressure on you.

I have had this so many times that i can actually stop myself from falling asleep because it feels like I'm going into that kind of dream. It's actually kind of scary during and after. Does this happen to anyone else?

Answers:
yes this used to happen to me all the time when I was a kid. I would be asleep on my bed and I would be totally aware of all my surroundings yet couldn't move or speak. I always noticed a ringing sound right before it happened and when I would sort of force myself to wake up from it I would be so scared that I wouldn't want to go back to sleep.

it didn't happen to me for a long time, but last week out of no where when I was staying at a family members house, which was the last place my grandmother lived before she passed away I might add which made me think she may have had something to do with it. well I remember being asleep and then I couldn't move my aunt could hear me saying things and she immediately woke me up. When I awoke I was literally shivering and it felt like my blood got cold, I was sooooo freaked out and hope it never happens again but I know at some point it will :-(
yes it used to happen to me all the time and I did not know what it was but I looked it up on a website. It said that if you change your sleeping habits so that you are on a schedule(sleep at the same time every day) and reduce stress it should go away. And I did that and it worked. It only happens when I am really stressed out or if start to sleep at crazy times all the time.
Try drinking glass of wine before bed maybe youll relax.
