Sleep paralysis, Anyone else gotten it before? Options

[xoxo_proud]

This occurs after waking up or shortly before falling asleep. the person cannot move any body part, cannot speak, and only has minimal control over blinking and breathing. Images or speaking that appear during the paralysis. The person may think that someone is standing beside them or they may hear strange sounds. These may be dreamlike, possibly causing the person to think that they are still dreaming. Often it is reported as feeling a weight on one's chest, as if being underneath a person or heavy object.

I had a really bad episode a couple of years ago. I heard this gunshot in my ear and I couldn't talk or move at all for almost a minute. It scared me to death. And then a while back I would wake up every night and I couldn't move any part of my body. Sometimes I'd wake up several times in one night and I'd be paralysed. I lost alot of sleep over that but I haven't gotten it in a while.

hmm, i dont think ive ever had it, but i have had times when it would be something somewhat like that only i couldnt really support myself on my legs and i would try to get up and just fall and not be able to move my legs. I dont get them anymore, or atleast not nearly as much. i use to get them a lot in elementary school though
