Has anyone experienced sleep paralysis? Youre unable to move but your mind is awake.its like youre literally paralized thus you have no control of your body.Inability to move, tinggling, pressure, feeling scared and you want to shout but you cant.i had sleep paralysis last night😭..has anyone experienced it?

I have experienced it while still asleep. Like when I have a nightmare and in my dream I want to run so badly but can't. It's like being stuck in place. I've woken up and realized it was because I was sleeping. That caused me to do some research years ago and I learned of sleep paralysis. I think I read that we all essentially get paralysis in our sleep because if you didn't, you would literally start acting your dreams out. Which would be awful. 😂 but I've heard people kind of half wake up and the body is still paralyzed which is really frightening. That part I have not experienced. Sorry to hear it happened to you.

I get this quite regular,

When I first had an episode I was so scared, didn't sleep for days I was so scared but then I researched it and became used to it.

Thankfully I don't get some of the night terrors people say they get which I'm glad about and often can feel it coming on.

The best advice I can give is realise although it may be scary, its totally harmless - focus on your breathing and work really hard to try move a finger and that will break it
