I might try and find it on Google Earth today

A while back I watched The Nightmare, a documentary on sleep paralysis—they do reenactments of what the different people interviewed reported seeing. I had to watch it in three parts because it was terrifying. Sometimes I go to sleep worried that tonight’s the night I start experiencing sleep paralysis.

Ugh. Same. I’m 35 and 2 years ago I had to completely swear off stomach sleeping and it was my preferred sleep position my entire life. My back just couldn’t take it anymore. It took a full year of getting use to and I still don’t get the deep sleep I got before when I could sleep on my stomach. I lost weight, took…

Ugh, I’ve had a couple episodes of sleep paralysis lately. Luckily, I’ve been able to keep my eyes closed, because the thought of what kind of visual hallucinations I’d have terrifies me. Instead I tend to hear some disturbing things. The most common so far is a long, loud whooshing sound past my ear. It seems almost…

I don’t have sleep paralysis, but I do get awful night terrors. The kind that hit maybe a half hour into my sleeping that have left me screaming my head off for no reason. I’ve been told I’ve gotten out of bed before and have been pointing to something in the corner of the room. I’ve also had some terrors I pull…

I was just going to say this exact thing as I right now made this connection.

I’ve been having back/shoulder/nerve issues this year so tried to sleep on my side/back rather than front. Sleeping on my front has sort of weirdly twisted my spine. And NOW I realise my sleep paralysis happens on my side the most, and then I…

That’s good to hear because that’s what I do! Before I moved in with my boyfriend I would try to jerk my head up to wake up, but now that I know someone is sleeping right next to me I tend to try to scream for him to help me. I can’t get the words out, but I do wake up.

Man, sleep paralysis is so weird and scary, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. My first SP episode happened after I had my first baby, so obviously I wasn’t sleeping very well. I woke up suddenly and right away noticed something was “off” about my room; the atmosphere was thick and heavy, like being underwater. I…

my boyfriend talks in his sleep occasionally. Usually it’s just funny things that don’t make sense, but once he rolled over and said to me “The doctor you killed is here.” Then rolled right back over. TH FUCKkkkk

I regularly experience sleep paralysis too, but I get full hallucinations with it- sight, sound, smell, touch, temperature (so far, no taste!). Once I figured out what the issue was (I’ll admit, I was a little disappointed that there were no actual ghosts) it generally didn’t terrify me as much as it used to. I could…

Fuck yes. I suffer from it every once in a blue moon and this last time spooked me beyond belief.

Sleeping on my back when overtired is what gets me every time I have an episode! I’m aware enough now that when it happens I focus all my strength on trying to turn over because I know that will end the episode. I only ever had sleep paralysis after I overdosed as a teenager and the first time if happened I thought I…

I have had bouts of sleep paralysis too! Super scary and they would leave me freaked out for days. BUT I was chatting with someone else about their SP and his story is one of the worst I’ve heard. I’ll repeat it here to the best of my memory. This friend of mine had recently suffered the death of his younger…

Yes, I’ve had these... most memorable occurrence was when I “inceptioned” seven or eight times, each time thinking I was *finally* awake while the shadowy figure that sometimes accompanies sleep paralysis stood over my head with a knife. I didn’t wake up for real, finally, until he reached down and slit my throat.

First, I’m so sorry that sleep paralysis keeps happening to you! I suffer sleep paralysis (or as I call affectionately call it-having the night hag ride me) but only when I sleep at an angle. Falling asleep in chairs ends up with me gasping like there’s something pressing on my torso and suffering from the feeling…

If you have markings on your body, that is not sleep paralysis. So sorry!

I think this maybe happened to me last month? I’ve never had it before or since (knock on wood), so I think maybe it was because I had taken half a dose of NyQuil, so it was enough to kind of paralyze me in half-sleep but not totally knock me out.

I hadn’t thought about this for years, until my husband, my dad, and I watched a documentary about sleep paralysis called The Nightmare. After it was over, we were comparing notes and I told them about this experience I had when I was 17. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t move. There was this…

I have night terrors and sleep paralysis too. Several, some dark, evil force is capturing me and forcing me places. The worst case of that happening, my arms were pinned to my sides, lips and eyes sealed shut whilst I screamed. I was screaming because I was being pushed off my bed and being pulled under it, which I…
