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 :)
