Hmm I can sharp pains up my spine to my neck when I adrenaline sometimes. Happened a few times. Really sucks. Never had then during a sleep paralysis thing though..

 

I usually only experience sleep paralysis if I take a nap after eating something

I can't stand feeling certain that there's someone in the room but I can't turn my head to see. That always scares me. The adrenaline rush doesn't help, either.

 

ive had this happen a few times too..couldnt move no matter how hard i tried. I as well felt there was someone else in the room but I couldnt do anything about it. not scary but very SURREAL experience. but i think it is definitely controllable, next time you get one just have fun with it, try to control ur hallucinations and such

 

Hmmm this sucks. I'm getting the paralysis but no hallucinations haha. I have never felt like someone else was in the room or anything as most others seem to experience.

 

even if you dont get the hallucinations its still a surreal feeling no? just try to have fun with it (drifting in and out of it is a very odd feeling) or try falling back asleep if possible.

if you really dont want to get them anymore try sleeping on ur stomach, i dont believe you get them if you're lying on ur stomach (speculation)

 

You guys have too much stress in your lives.

 

i dont think its stress, cuz theres little stress in my life. i think it probly has the most to do with ones diet




edit: just did some wiki research on it and apparently its a very complex not completely understood neurological issue. However...

"Some reports read that various factors increase the likelihood of both paralysis and hallucinations. These include:

* Sleeping in a face upwards or supine position
* Irregular sleeping schedules; naps, sleeping in, sleep deprivation
* Increased stress
* Sudden environmental/lifestyle changes
* A lucid dream that immediately precedes the episode."
