Have you ever had sleep paralysis? Let us know your experience in the comments.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories so far! It's not an easy thing to deal with sometimes.
Wanna watch more? Why is it so hard to fall asleep?: th-cam.com/video/HL6ECWZ8G1s/w-d-xo.html
Life Noggin yup
I sleep in my car for two hours and I got it I think I couldn't move when I try my arm or leg hurt
I have always experienced it...never knew what this is.. ! Got to know today ! Thanks.
Do weird spasms count?
Oh man yeah I’ve had sleep paralysis before, it’s horrifying to be honest. Luckily all of those times my eyes were closed so I didn’t have to deal with any visual hallucinations, instead I got very loud auditory hallucinations akin to cymbals

I haven’t had a sleep paralysis for years but I still remember how terrifying it was, especially when I tried to move and started panicking which made it a lot worst.
Did you felt like a invisible wall that didn't left you move or you just couldn't move
@@DillanNadir In my experience, you were paralyzed. It didn’t feel like there was a barrier or anything, you just couldn’t move your limbs at all.

chinlane game depression is a mental illness, you can’t be “sometimes" depressed
oh god oh no
chinlane game depression and just “being depressed” are two different things depressed is a temporary feeling of emptiness while depression is a mental condition that will make you will empty, tired, angry, hopeless, hateful and many more things for no reason other then being psychologically damaged.
Even if you aren't afraid, you still feel a vibrating, buzzing sensation, and uncomfortable pressure on your head. Its 5x worse than nightmares because you are awake during it
Nolan Chojnacki it’s annoying
its a pre astral projection experience and it is real.
Its so scary.
I just had one rn and I felt like someone was walking behind me and as it got closer towards my head I feel like I seen the shadow getting bigger and so was a really loud buzzing sound and as soon as the get to where my head was it’s like they turned around and walked away and the buzzing became more distant but I still could not move and it was really scary and this is like over my 15th paralysis and some I usually get back to back the same night.

I think its also important to note that not all people with sleep paralysis hallucinate demons or things of the such. I have sleep paralysis and I have never seen, heard, or felt anything while paralyzed.
I am unable to open my eyes while paralyzed so that might contribute to it, and I also rarely ever get dreams in the first place.
Thank you, I was looking for that comment. Like why is everybody talking about some demons when for me being awake and unable to move is terrifying enough
@@fant0n Agreed, I have been looking for people who cant open their eyes as well. the only time i felt pressure on my chest during sleep paralysis is when my dogs were literally siiting on my chest.
Exactly, so I don’t really get scared of em/kind of like it at times. One time I got really freaked out cause someone was in the room with me but I couldn’t see/move for them as I just look asleep. It made me think I was gonna be like this forever or smth 😂😂

Haha, I was scared shitless for that fucking doll as a child. Even now, being an adult, my heart temporarily stopped when I saw Chucky in Ready Player One at the cinema! I probably won't watch the new Chucky film, no way.
When I was under sleep paralysis I was just casually pissing. I couldn’t even stop it.
Gordon Ramsay omg bro I laughed so hard 😝
I laughed so hard and then slowly started crying
That was the nightmarw itself
at least I’m not the only one

Ι have had 7 sleep paralysis experiences, and after the 5th it was not that bad. I still got a little bit scared, but I reminded myself that this has happened many times in the past, and it is going to give me another fun story to tell my family and my friends.

For my experiences with sleep paralysis, I'd say the worst part of it is trying to scream but nothing happening.

if i could move i swear to god i would go full on doomslayer mode.
LMAOOOO
I have been suffering with sleep paralysis for for as long as I can remember. Virtually every night I have vivid dreams that are almost like a continuation of what happens in reality. My dreams are generally about situations that happen with the same friends that I have in real life. I am now 87 years old and I often dream about friends and family members that have passed away. The dream paralysis is always in the morning when I wake up and they happen when I am crying out for help in the dream because of a situation where I need help in the dream. In the dream I am crying out for help and the next thing I know I am desperately trying to wake up always saying “help me…help me” in my dream and trying to scream out the same words while I am trying to remove blankets and get up. I desperately try to move my arms without success. My dreams are not scary as they often reflect what’s going on in my life at the time. Unfortunately I have them periodically but at least two or three times a month.
This sounds exactly like my sleep paralysis!! Except for sometimes I do have both auditory and visual hallucinations.
I’m 35 and have sleep paralysis almost every night. And I am also a vivid dreamer , always have been. Everyday I wake up and remember like 3-4 dreams .
I watch ONE sleep paralysis video a month ago and I have a million in my recommended. 🤦🏻♀️

*I had one of a yokai spirit plucking sequins off my pillow*

Yo that clown is hella gay bro
Pennywise?
Just experienced this for the first time ever it’s scary
It happened to me twice and believe me, those scientists know nothing about what is really going on,
It happened to me once before I got saved, I was maybe 12 I was awake sitting at my bed and instantly I fall and I just can't move, I start saying the name of God and I would feel the kindness and the love of God but some contradicting force was trying to push me to say Satan and once I said his name I felt this anger just put on my spirit and it was just terrifying,
And that happened for couple of minutes before it went away and I never spoke about it because I was so scared,
And before two years now I became a disciple of Jesus christ and I started listening to Jesus christ and do what God wants, and I was sleeping and I just saw myself awake and I was cursing at Satan and telling him to leave my house and instantly a huge force just hit me in the spirit like a train and I was paralised for few seconds, I used the name of Jesus christ, and it instantly stopped,
Demons fear the name of Jesus christ and will never be able to barke because Jesus christ is our hope and as long as we are with him, no Demons can hurt us.
That’s does not sound like sleep paralysis that sounds like an out of body religious experience
Even I experienced rt now staying alone in delhi owing to studies, ran straight to library trying to understand what has actually happened
@@jesuschristislord9013 I had a dream, someone was playing demonic music, & I felt the presence of a demon, & I woke up wanting to rebuke the spirit, but I couldn't so you need to give the night to God, & get your spirit man ready for a fight.
@@jesuschristislord9013 bruh, our minds are more complex than u can imagine, all u went through was psychological, u were thinking the whole time, it's exactly what he just explained, there's no mystery in that.
I went through that 2 weeks ago and since I know how this works I wasn't scared at all and didn't have any hallucination, I just patiently and calmly waited about 2mins till my muscles woke up, I only kept breathing smoothly and deeply so that I'd remain conscious and not fall asleep again while I waited.
I believe I’ve experienced sleep paralysis a few times but I was never fully awake. My mind is awake is aware I’m trying to wake up but my body struggles to move. My eyes are typically closed and my breathing is fine. I usually tell myself to wake up and keep trying to move until I wake up in a small jolt.
that is how i would explain my experience as well... dunnp if you'll see this comment since its late but yeah. i woke up in my room but everything was bluish and i was aware but didnt feel like complete wakefulness. more like concious in a dream state with my real surroundings. i didnt get scared, just got angry and i woke up after few seconds.
The absolute worst type of sleep paralysis is getting an itch you cannot scratch

*THAT'S NOT SLEEP PARALYSIS*
I'm actually scared I'm almost ten and I was crying cuz I watched way to many sleep paralysis vids and then I searched it up and when I read something, it said "Can Demons kill/hurt you while you sleep?" So I clicked on it and it said yes but when I read the whole thing I was sooo relived, it literally said "no demons can't attack/kill you while you sleep!" And I was crying and thinking I will always sleep with someone till I'm 30...
when i was 10, in my dreams, i was going to be beheaded. but suddenly it popped, oh its a dream going on, it won;'t hurt. to confirm, i pinched myself (in my dream) and i said wow, it doesn;t hurt, go on......
Delete your account and stop using the Internet.
So i had this sleep paralysis thingy,i saw a shadow watching me,i tried to call my mom but i cant let my voice out,and at that point,i knew that i was in a sleep paralysis...I can hear footsteps, breathing.
My only advice is to relax your self, Don't panic.
Try your best to move your pinky finger (it will help you wake yourself). And pray before going to bed.

Reed777 i couldn’t move my arms, my first instinct was to open my eyes.
my sleep paralysis was only auditorial. very thankful about it cause i never saw these black figures. i only heard footsteps around outside my room but never bothered to think who was out there. minutes later, i heard my aunt and uncle screaming for their lives downstairs and suddenly heard 2 gunshots and my aunt and uncle stopped screaming. and then i heard the footsteps by the stairs getting closer into our room so i panicked and tried to wake up my mom and brother because they are right beside me but suddenly i can’t move and i hear a loud eerie static noise, and every time i try to move the noise gets louder and louder, so i shouted and shouted and i could hear my own voice but no one was waking up, so what i did i scrathed my mom’s hand and i could feel it but in reality i wasn’t moving

So sleep paralysis can be caused by stress. But doesn't that make you even more stressed?!
It's not real though it's your mind
Yes it does. And if you get more stressed and anxious about it, chances are you'll have several occurrences back to back with only a few seconds in between.
@@baby16princezz2011 thats me 😢 I think I have one of the serious/worse cases of sleep paralysis
Lol really, that's why I've never had it. I just never stress... Probably not the reason. But I am only 13 so I will probably have stuff in the future I can stress about.
@@florixplace6896 I'm also 13 and I have had SP more than 7 times😐. Although I've only had auditory hallucinations I've never ever seen anything
I had this at uni when I was under incredible stress. I was lying on my stomach and I saw someone scurrying around my bed, then I was dragged down the stairs, absolutely horrific.
In my experience, I’ve been told by others that when i have sleep paralysis I make a noise out loud, then jump up really quickly, I absolutely hate it.

I'm one of those 20%, I embrace sleep paralysis when it happens it makes me see the things I couldn't and feel the thing I shouldn't feel. Sleep paralysis is such a vivid feeling i find it relaxing.. it feels like im in some places i shouldn't be. Meet the things I could not see with my own eyes and feel their embrace and presence even if its temporary. For people who fear this kind of experience.. just think about it this anomaly is like a ticket to another plane that you can go to even if its good or bad, embrace it is something we could not feel in the real world.
When it happens… remember to say “the blood of Christ has power” over and over. Get back to me about what happened afterwards please!

Here is my experience, I basically get sleep paralysis whenever I am incredibly tired, anyway I literally just woke up from a sleep paralysis, its been I would say 2 years since my last occurrence, a misconception is that during sleep paralysis you see demons and ghosts, nah its not like that at all, basically what happens at least for me is that, I am having an awful nightmare, and deep inside my brain it is creating a scenario for sleep paralysis to occur, during my nightmare I realise that I am dreaming, this causes me to prematurely wake my body into reality whilst my brain is in sleep mode, where it gets scary is that you’ve just seen a horific nightmare, now you are paralysed in a dark room not knowing who or what is behind you, after staying calm for 5 - 10 seconds I force myself out of paralysis and jump out of bed. What is important to mention is that whilst you are paralysed your brain is still realising abnormally high levels of fear chemicals through your brain which spark a “fight or flight” response
I had this problem as a child. It happened several times a week. Weirdly I thought it was less likely to happen if I slept on my back. I would feel that I was floating towards the ceiling, I would see the ceiling coming closer and closer. Then I would feel a presence there with me. It was so frightening. Sometimes we would be together up in the dark loft, I would be unable to move or scream. This was the part that was so absolutely terrifying. I'm still feel uncomfortable going into a loft because of it. Occasionally I would float downstairs and see my parents watching TV. It lasted a year or two, I was very young, I guess just as I started to understand reality. I am 53 years old now and it is still ingrained in my memory…
It’s strange but I remember the exact moment when it all stopped. One morning (I was looking into the fridge) and just realised that I was now above it, too old for it. I was now in charge.. I knew I was over it. From that day on I never had the experience again.

I’m literally not sleeping because of it. I haven’t experienced it in my entire life but it just sounds so scary to me.
Sorry I accidentally let the prisoner out of the insane asylum
Trying wiggling your toes and fingers and you’ll get out of it quicker.
This used to happen to me a lot between ages 12 up to age 35. I'm 47 now and haven't experienced it. It is awful. You wake but your body won't move. You are aware of your surroundings like you can hear the rain outside, or the cat jump off the bed, your spouse sleeping, etc. All I can do is try to wiggle out of the frozen state. The more I focus on wiggling, at some point I shake my body awake but I absolutely have to get out of bed or as I drift off I go back into that frozen state. As long as I get out of bed, move around a bit then it doesn't return. But yes it is awful. You are totally paralyzed and the fear of that is enough to frighten you. I learned to not fear it as it happened more and more so I would just tell myself, your ok, it will pass but you have to wiggle and focus on wiggling to break out of this state. It sucks for sure.
Whenever it happens to me, I find the easiest part of my body to move is my head, if I try move it side to side that usually helps but like you said the falling back into it is the bit that's kind of even harder to avoid.

ACTUALLY HAPPENED
I just close my eyes and talk myself through it. I say "can't scare me if i can't see it" over and over in my head.
So I experienced this for the first time during a nap on the sofa. I couldn't see and I thought my body was shutting down like I was having a heart attack and a stroke. I could feel my face dropped. I tried so hard to get my phone but my arms wasn't working I then tried to kick my legs so I can sit up but again my legs wasn't working. Final attempt was to scream for help and nothing was coming out just silence. The only thing I could see was like a static TV. This happened for about 20 seconds but felt too long. 😫 it's took me ages to convince myself it was just a dream and wasn't real. When I woke up I still nearly called for for emegency services because I didn't know it was a dream. Honestly hope this never happens again. 🙏

I have depression so its weird
@@Marshibe i hope you will find joy and happiness, and i hope you find someone that brings happiness to you!
Don’t give up!!
A few years ago, i struggled a lot with stress, enxiety and depression that i would have sleep paralysis 3-5 times a night ( every hour) for almost six months and the weird/scary part is that most of the time it starts at 12am.
I have experienced all of it. The images that appears, including seeing a dark figure standing next to your bed or sitting on top of you, hearing voices such as children laughing next to you. I also experienced good things such as a light shining in the hallway outside my room and it felt like a light from heaven. I was never able to control my sleep paralysis after so many times but i learned to managed it instead of fighting: such as i stop being afraid. I would wake up, realizing my mind is awake but not my body, i would just lay and ponder about things until i can go back to sleep.
There were many times i would wake up in the morning in sleep paralysis, and just watch the sun rise through my windows while letting my body sleeps for a bit longer. This might be weird to say but at some slight degree i miss having sleep paralysis because it helped me realize about myself and my life in some therapeutic way. I don't have sleep paralysis anymore and i can sleep throughout the night just fine.
I just woke up about 10 minutes ago from an episode. Been having it off and on for years. I think I've had it since I was a kid. I used to wake up in a similar fashion trying to yell and move but couldn't but never knew what it was. My mom said I used to sleep walk when I was very little. She came in the room to check on my brothers and me and couldn't find me anywhere until she looked in a closet where I was sleep.
Am I the only one who had sleep paralysis but didn't see any Demons or anything? Maybe it was just too dark.
No I got it n it was morning n I didn't see no demon I heard my mom call me for breakfast n I couldn't move that was the last time I slept on my chest

"It's not caused by demons but your own brain"
Sounds like something a sleep paralysis demon would say.
😳😳😳
It is caused neither by demons nor by your brain: You're actually partially outside of your physical body in this state. If you encounter horrifying things while in sleep paralysis, those are just manifestations of your own fears, nothing threatening. Be courageous and stay calm and focus on trying to leave your physical body to induce an out-of-body experience. It's really amazing and fun. You are an immortal non-physical being having a temporary human experience, and learning to leave your body gives you the opportunity to find out what you truly are and lets you freely explore the entire universe.
I keep getting this sleep paralysis it's our own Imagination well what I'm doing is I'm Imagining funny faces in the terrifying monsters I saw HAHAHA...
@@LuminaryRain you sound delusional lmfao.
@@socknine566 right
I had this 1 time when i was sleeping on my back at first i couldnt move and yell or anything but after i prayed and got my prayers answered jesus loves me😭😊
Aww cutie 💕
Just let it happen, go with the flow you're gets this crazy feeling
"20% of people who had sleep paralysis like it"?!
To me that's like saying you like fricking nightmares
Depends, there was one that made me felt like I was in a forest, and it honestly feel like I got misplaced in a soothing environment. Others are shitty though, stressful and I have no control over anything but watch
One of my best ones was feeling like a real warrior.i could feel and see every movement. And control what I wanted to do.My others where just straight up freaking nightmares that I couldn’t control too.
I've had sleep paralysis multiple times occasionally, but never hallucinations, probably because I sleep on my stomach and I am very nearsighted and while I almost always wake up on my back, every time I get sleep paralysis, I'm sill on my stomach.
I like it it ain’t even that scary and nightmares as well
my ones so far have all been mostly terrifyinggg.
My first ever sleep paralysis, I could "see" but I'm pretty sure my eyes were closed irl (ie. all in my head).
I was lying and on my side and could hear a man breathing behind me, with his arm around my waist. Needless to say, I was terrified. I tried to turn around to look behind me, but of course, I couldn't.
The other one, I was in my room and there was an earthquake, but I couldn't move. My entire room was shaking violently but I couldn't do anything.
What makes mine so terrifying is that they all occur in my room, but the "scary" things that happen aren't supernatural, so it feels very real.
Another was similar to the first, only it felt like someone was sitting on my stomach (like a small child).
And my most recent one was okay. I woke up, and couldn't move. But this time I was prepared and my brain immediately went, "right, this is sleep paralysis. You've been through this before, just try to wiggle your fingers and you can break out of it."
But yeah, all the times the only was I got out of paralysis was when I tried to move my fingers. If I successfully did it then my body would do that weird knee-jerk wake-up reaction thing, and kick me out of it.
*when u think u fell from the bed*
Lmao fax
Facts bro
Facts
Omggg had thiss
And i saw myself under the bed!!!
What a creepy experience it was
THATS FREAKING TRUE.
It happens to me as I'm waking up so my eyes are closed but it's like the terror response in my brain is triggered, lucky I do not have hallucinations. I also usually have it during the day so often there is someone nearby and I try to get them to wake me up by moving my finger which is the only thing I can manage but it has never worked. Sleep paralysis is so panic-inducing even when I know it will go away eventually.
I had this about an hour ago. As soon as I fell asleep I felt like I was being held down by my fear of the darkness, I was screaming but I couldn’t it just sounded like air, I tried to open my left eye but it was being held down. And I couldn’t see the demon at all until I stopped trying and I realised this wasn’t my reality and that’s when it came to an end, before the dream I had weird hallucinations of something, it’s weird how these things can happen, never knew what this was until it happened thanks sleep schedule

I woke up on a dark room and makes me scared still.
Just don't sleep
That’s me too
Meeeeeeeeeeee
Me: Decides to *fall back asleep during* sleep paralysis.
*Me:* *Gets a Lucid Dream*
Me: I've perfected the art of nap.
Tell me its true
Happened to me once.
It happened to me twice lol
You have earned your first bap belt
I just had a sleep paralysis but when I got up. I was way too sleepy but I didnt want to go back to sleep 😭 I was too scared
That was terrifying! I was really sleep deprived from staying up past midnight and not having a consistent sleep pattern. I went to take a quick nap before I went on with my day and woke up entirely unable to move. At first I panicked. I thought sleep paralysis meant you could at least feel your body, but that's not the case. I felt trapped inside my own, frozen body. It almost felt like someone or something was holding me down. Then my thoughts immediately jumped to season three of teen wolf when (my favorite character) styles had sleep paralysis. Somehow knowing what it was made it so much worse. Then, the shadows of my room began to creep inward toward me. It looked terrifying! Once they got right up to me the started blinking super quickly in and out of existence. Then, I finally shot up and rolled to my side, breaking like crazy and so thankful the feeling in my limbs was back, and it was no longer that terrifying, dull tingling.
I'm so relieved that this is at least somewhat common 😅
My hands are still shaking wtheck...
It doesnt bother me anymore it's just weird. Only when I sleep on my back.
We take things for granted, things our bodies do all the time, and when they go a bit haywire it can be really stressful. I hope you acclimate to it better, as I have. Stay calm its ok👍
just had this happen to me like 3 times in a row first time i thought i just had a nightmare so i went back to sleep only to realize i was in a dream again and woke up again screaming for help to nothing. again it went away after 30 seconds and for some reason i decided to go back to sleep and this last time my goodness it was horrible it lasted like 2 minutes and my back was turned to my wall i thought someone was gonna come and kill me no joke. now i’m so tired but genuinely scared to go to sleep
*Me: Laying in my bed. Demons: Partying in my room^^*
they having fun while you are laying in bed :P
I didn't sleep all night so i think the demons didnt come to party
You Think That's Funny ????
I see you like godzilla

I have never once in my life had sleep paralysis, but one day I was just so tired I passed out on my parent's bed. I thought I had woken up because I heard my mom talking to someone so I got up and was trying to get up to go to my room, but I just couldn't move. The next thing I knew my window shattered and snow came in (i live in texas so this made no sense to me). I shut my eyes and I could feel something sitting on my chest. My brain kept telling me don't open your eyes you know it's gonna be something scary on top of you. So I held my breath and I woke up screaming, it was terrifying and my heart felt cold. I was shaking I told my dad what had happened and he explained to me the same thing happens to him( my dad is a vet with PTSD). He told me it was a smart idea for me to hold my breath. I never want to feel that way again.
0:07 "you cant move a muscle"
_(Head moves)_
I just noticed that lmfao
I've had sleep paralysis twice ever since I was diagnosed with anxiety . It's the scariest thing. You can't move no matter how hard you try. My monster was a man with super thick eyebrows and a wide mouth and he was really tall. He just stared at me and got closer it felt like it lasted forever. Then he was all up in my face roaring in a deep voice. This went on for the rest of the night. I was mantally screaming but nothing came out. When I finally woke up I cried and I couldn't sleep for days. Its a horrible experience and if its never happened to you then you are lucky.
Edit: It's always that man. And apparently I'm not the only one who's seen him. I'm going to therapy now.
dont worry he wont scare you anymore
Thick?
*It was big chungus*
I think I know the man you are describing. Try and search “This man” on TH-cam, and tell me if it’s him.
Look up the man in a hat. There’s other people who see the same demon.
Wow...hugs Don't worry
It happened a couple times to me, then I named the demon Jimmy, and now we are good friends.

I'm only 8 and I still had it this is really haunting me
I had sleep paralysis episodes frequently when I was a teenager, a few times a month. I found that marijuana reduced the frequency of my episodes and was very effective, although occasionally still had episodes every so often when using it. I smoked frequently for 4+ years and it had always helped. I have recently quit marijuana for about a month, or at-least am taking a long break, and my sleep paralysis has quickly returned. In the past 3 weeks, i’ve had about 6 different episodes.
I purposely sleep up against a wall or on my stomach in order not to see figures or things of that nature. When it happens, I wake up and the only muscles I can move is my eye lids. I try and keep my eyelids closed as not to see anything. I am completely conscious during my episodes, but I am just paralyzed. I can eventually force other body parts to wiggle and wake myself up after a long struggle. Typically on nights where I suffer from sleep paralysis, I have more than 1 episode in a night.
Although I have never really met my sleep paralysis demon face to face, I can feel it’s presence in the room during my episodes. I get the feeling of something on top of me, and I get a painful feeling in my chest and spine. I also frequently hear these loud ringing or screeching noises, almost sounds like a stun grenade from Call of Duty. I’ve maybe had 100-150 episodes in my life (I am age 21), and they have all been very consistent. It is never a pleasant experience. Although, I have been able to get used to it and I always realize when it is happening which allows me to stay relatively calm. I dread the day where I ever have to see my sleep paralysis demon face to face.
Sorry for the long comment. Maybe someone out there can relate to my experience.
Now that you mention it I think marijuana does play an effect and I am bearly noticing it now, I remember every since about 5th grade I would always randomly get sleep paralysis it was to the point I was afraid to sleep on my back because I feared I would get it, I have never seen any creepy things I’d just wake up and can’t move, but I thank you for the marijuana comment because I just noticed, I started smoking weed around 10th grade and have not really had a sleep paralysis experience since then maybe once but I have no really had it, I smoked nearly almost every single day and recently I have lost my id and now I can’t get any weed and I have been sober a week pulse and plan to quit and rn I just had a sleep paralysis experience of me trying to wake up and it felt like my spirit was trying to get back into my body from the dream realm and I was half asleep half awake trying to wake myself up, I think marijuana does play a role but I just didn’t know I have sleep paralysis because I’ve been smoking for so long about 8 years, I started in 2016 now it’s 2024 so I have not had much experience of paralysis but I hope I don’t have a problem
Sleep paralysis is scary!
Wat Lel -The Ceiling Destroyer ikr
It sure is. It usually takes me a couple tries to get back up
Sure is.
Andrew Bowman yeah and once i could only my left hand and it was scary because it was my first time so i thougt that i was dying or something
In my case, I think that Aliens took me to experiment on me and the didn't calculate the drugs good enough so I wake in the middle of ther experiments and they have to rush things up so I don't realize what they were doing lol
I had sleep paralysis, a metal dancing alien was dancing at the foot of my bed. I was laughing.
Ponked 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
i got black baby
screaming at me
Wait was it Howard? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I tried to love but I cant. Then i panicked then my heart rate increased. Then I felt like I cant breathe, so I just calm down and cursed sleep paralysis in my brain.
Ok I don't know what happened but so far this is the closest thing to what just happened to me. I was conscious but I couldn't move anything or open my eyes and all I could feel was pressure on my chest thighs and throat and something cord like wrapped around my body and then when I finally woke up from trying to move I shot out of bed. this was the most terrifying moment of my life
I actually think I’ve been so scared of sleep paralysis that I’ve been losing sleep. If I’m not facing a wall when I go to bed then I immediately switch over so I don’t have to see scary stuff
Why did I decide to watch this just before bed???? I'm terrified now...
Me too... :(
I had sleep paralysis of Chucky opening my door and standing over me with a knife in his hand.
Same I’m scared to go to sleep bc I don’t wanna wake up to it xD

A sleep paralysis isnt even painfull
I have lived with this all my life. I can’t stay put waiting for it to be over. I fight it and sometimes my wife notice it and helps me wake up. Not a gift I wish to anyone.
You ever just awake till 3 am and then decide not to sleep because of fear of sleep paralysis but then the next night it's harder to fall asleep because you know that you are at higher risk of getting sleep paralysis
I get it a lot but I started getting used to it so it’s not that scary anymore I’m just like “ohh it’s this shit again” it’s still terrible tho my head hurts like hell right after.
ImJustTooGuud literally... first time I got it I thought I was being haunted... but since I started getting it sometimes 4/5 times a night. I’ve started learning exactly how to control/stop it. Still scary tho 😂
Honestly I'm past it I get sleep paralysis and I just look the shit in the face like"nigga is this just your main job, let me sleep" then go eight back to sleep
Exotic J 😂😂
ImJustTooGuud yeah me too
Lol same.
Dont you hate when as soon as you think about going to sleep you think about if you can catch yourself trying to go to sleep, and when you try to go to sleep, you think about it, and it messes your sleep up?

Only when I sleep high lmao

The Boys Usually when im getting ready to fall asleep, i feel like i just 'tripped' and fell, and i kind of jerk up.

The Departure of the soul from Physical Body
I literally had super sleep paralysis 20min ago. I felt that thing like 5 times, yes you read right. They went back to back with hell of a speed. Hard to explain sleep, para, sleep, para over and over again for like 30min.
What I saw, felt and heard.
I heard many strange things for many times. but I see any scary goblins, because I closed my eyes cause. Im not new to these. Im a veteran.
Creepiest thing I heard was when something or someone tried to dig hole through wall from other side. It was in first para.
In last or second last para, I heard person couple meters away breathing. Was lil scary but nah. I dont remeber much from the others, but I remember I couldnt move.
In one fast dream between paras, I stood up and tried to turn on all lights up, but then woke up and found myself in sleep paralysis. This was for sure most random nap i ever had.
I’ve just recently experienced a bad episode of sleep paralysis and my mind was still in a dream like state, which caused me to hear things that obviously weren’t there or real, but visually I was stuck looking at my ceiling when a dark hand reached toward me and in the corner of my right eye there was another figure standing there, which made me freak out mentally. As this is all going on I felt compression in my chest I was trying to say help over and over again, but no words are coming out as it was all in my head, which really made me feel helpless in the moment. I think what caused this sleep paralysis had to do with me being sleep deprived and having a screwed sleep schedule.
Prayer of protection ✝️
Eternal Father, I offer you the most Precious Blood
of Jesus in expiation of my sins,
for the deliverance of the holy souls in Purgatory
and for the needs of the Holy Church.
May my whole life, united to that of Mary
be offered to the august Trinity with
the most Precious Blood of Jesus,
in a perpetual Mass.
Christ, the Son of the living God,
show yourself the defender
and friend of men saved
by your Blood.
Amen.
I’ve had sleep paralysis a lot but I remember the most recent two times I’ve had it I’d just says Jesus Jesus and by the third time it just feel a release and I could move
you tried to scream for help.
But you cant
Alternate:
You cried for help.
But nobody came...
UNDERTALE REFERENCE, YES! XD funny, since i said in another comment that i would probably have sleep paralysis about that undertale chara scene or something\
I hate it when that happens, it's scary!
Since when were you the one in control? =)
Exactly what happened to me
I’ve never thought that I would find some undertale fans here😂
I had a sleep paralysis
My mom is checking my history but I can't move then I woke up
This is the next horror blockbuster 👌
OH GOD NO!!!
She would not be prepared for that ;-;
@MrUglyHairline XD

But for real that happend to me lol
2:30 LIKE IT??? I have sleep paralysis and it's NOT fun every time I breath it feels like my lungs are gonna explode the only two things I can control are my eyes and my breathing and even my eyes falls asleep from time to time and I feel so scared for no reason when it happens I try to calm myself but my brain only thinks about if I'm gonna die because of how painful it is to breath
