Why Sleep Paralysis is So Terrifying #Shorts

Sleep paralysis is the feeling of being aware of your surroundings but unable to move or speak. Often, victims feel pressure on their chest or a sense of choking. During these vivid dream-like experiences, you might see scary creatures near you or even lying in your bed. How could you prevent sleep paralysis? Which sleeping position could trigger an episode? Why could moving your eyes wake you up?

If I have nightmares tonight I’m blaming you 😳

[Boomboommain]

Me : closes eyes
Demon : HEY THATS NOT FAIR 😭😭😭

[AshleyVemerson]

I’ve had this happen! It’s real guys and I had a dark “thing” over my head- horrifying😭

[Ja_ediz]

As a kid, this is why I sleep with my mom

I used to have an episode every few months in my 20’s. I was a bartender, so I worked late and didn’t have the best sleep schedule. I’m almost positive that had something to do with it. The most common for me was the hag and the shadow by the door. Thankfully I haven’t had an episode in years. I wouldn’t wish them upon anyone.

Guess no sleep for me tonight... might as well watch IT 2 😅😅

[robbierowe]

I feel like a way to stop sleep paralysis is to sleep with a bunch of stuff around you Westlake a bunch of pillows or blankets or really anything or just the way staring at the wall

[NOOBERGIRL]

i always experience sleep paralysis but i can move in the bed but not stand up, i cannot scream and i never see scary figures, in my sleep paralysis im all alone in a bloody room, so thank u for explaining.

[chrismartin]

I get this all the time.. every single time it's terrifying

[kimberlystanford]

But why do we all hallucinate the SAME exact thing??

[SquashyNO.]

When I was a kid I had a terrifying demonic one that haunted me for a month. I can still remember the feeling of it choking me as it whispered horrible things in my ear! 😰😢 I was so scared to sleep, I would stay up for days at a time until I got so exhausted I would pass out wherever I was, & still have it happen! 😣

Thank God It's never happened since then! I'm still convinced it may have been something more than just a hallucination, because I found out later on that my sister was having the same type one at the exact same time as me... gives me chills just thinking about it. 😨

[DarthQueefious]

I once woke up lying on my front and felt a hand on my head and a telepathic voice that said "don't worry, your mind will lead the way". My cupboard was wide open.
Weird

[Lakalddsksk]

I underestimated how bad it felt but thankfully it was a dream I kept being put back in the same position when ever I moved off the bed and even when I’m awake it feels like it happend

[somii]

I've never experienced that demon but I have those when body can't move. I have them so much that now I've started enjoying them lmao

[Cimbomunanasinisikeyim]

Fun fact:many times in SP, you will probably hear whispers and human noises, its because your body is repalying the morning memories sometimes at night

[R.E.Cullen]

This happened to me a couple of times during my childhood.. I think this is not sleep paralysis... there are some spirits that makes you to paralyze....

[Victorscool]

Sleep paralysis is scary the first time then it’s just a inconvenience

[sloth.-]

For me it was me in bed alone and a creature just started crawling on my bed and touching my face it looked like it had no eyebrows white pale skin its eyes were a dark white it and it was about 3 foot

[kimbelsimpson]
