To those of you who suffer from this horrible affliction...

If you are in a situation when you have sleep paralysis (sort-of wake up and can't move, care barely breathe, and are hallucinating), I've found that something which works very well is to tense your entire body which usually brings on a narcoleptic twitch, waking you up. Then I reccomend biting your hand to keep awake until the feeling has past. Tonight was the first time I really realised what I was doing and now I know where all those marks on my hands have been coming from :)

I have this often and it is very scary. I tend to be lying on my front and the pillow is smothering my face but I just cannot move for about 30 seconds and I am struggling to breathe. Horrible experience! I will attempt to remember these tips.
