Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis?

[suryadas]

I've had this for many years. At first I thought I lost my mind and kept it to myself but was relieved to know it had a name and happens to other people as well.

[OneTap-qypz]

I had sleep paralysis once, thank goodness I realised it as soon as it started and I started twitching my small toe to wake my body up ( I learnt it from beluga’s old Chanel)

[whyayyyerrlaffinfhorr]

Motherfu.... They really upload this literally when I'm about to go to sleep

[JANEENHOLLIS]

I remember i had just fell asleep around 6am and not long after I felt something or SOMEBODY Stretching themselves across my body, i was lying on my side and it was as heavy as a weighted blanket! Then i heard inaudible whispering in my right ear, i refused to open my eyes but i opened my mouth and kept repeating "The Blood of Jesus" and I heard myself saying it but it was sluggish and slurred like the "thing" was trying to keep me from saying it! I said it 6 times and when i didn't feel that weight on me anymore, I don't think my feet touched not NAN STAIR and its 12 of them! Shiiiddd say what u want, that was REAL!!!

This hasn't happened to me in a while. I have a suspicion that it might happen again soon after watching this.

I used to have sleep paralysis everytime i fall asleep i noticed it kept happening during 2:50 AM - 3:30 AM. I remember too afraid to sleep the first 2-5 mins i managed to wake up. Demons attacking me, choking me, even kissing me . I remember praying while experiencing this but kept forgetting the Our father in heaven can't manage to finished any prayer . It all stop when i prayed the St benedict and St Michael the archangel prayer and Psalm 91 . Even memorized it . Years has gone by and i haven't experienced sleep paralysis ever again

Just had a sleep paralysis in the early morning and was going to sleep right now and yes there you are I closed my eyes and then a few seconds I started shaking my head and woke up

[nathanbelofsky]

I used to always wake up and see things. There’s even times I’ve fallen out of bed and even one time I was found in the garage screaming because I saw something. I remember vividly seeing things crawling on the walls, sometimes even feeling things in bed with me. Luckily as I grew up it went away but I remember how terrible it was.

Hello! Love your videos, your videos are really great.

[PlasmonixRBX]

As a 14-Year-Old that has gone through multiple kinds of experiences of Sleep Paralysis daily, its safe to say that im used to having it, so used to it in fact i wanted to happen for the rest of my life and i feel lucky for it because not only it improves my sleep deprivation but it also gives me high quality of sleep. Which means i don't need to take my sleep medication pills anymore!

[shibbymiyah]

I suffer from sleep paralysis and I have seen strange beings in my room while it happens it is very scary

[ruushiz]

"Don't fall asleep immediately"

-Me real quick goin on full creative mode and turn the sleep paralysis into a lucid dream-

[bsfswher.]

i've never had sleep paralysis, and i obviously don't plan on it, but as much as i love watching horror movies, i could really never do it alone and having sleep paralysis would be like 100x worse because by off of what i know, its literally like you're helpless so now im terrified of ever having it 😭

[saimayasser]

Not sleeping on your back is a very good tip for people suffering from sleep paralysis. Thank you so much for the tip❤❤❤❤❤

[MitchyBoix]

For me it happens most nights. Last night being most recent one where I had a very old man open my door, look at me and slowly approached. Broke out once he got close though. Even after you wake up, you can still see em

[tsjjsye]

This is video has helped me alot but thank you 😊

[KianAnanda]

When you see a demon, just close your eyes and ya won’t see them

[kev]

who else watched this to do everything in this video 😂

[nathanbarnes]

An excess of dopamine in the mesolimbic neural network is also the leading cause of psychosis so it makes sense that overactivity of these pathways contributes to sleep paralysis. I wonder if anti-dopaminergic drugs like antipsychotics would help people with chronic SP
