Sleep paralysis
-
2018-07-24 at 4 PM UTCThis past year I started experiencing sleep paralysis. I never knew it was a thing until the third time it happened I started to read into it
Anyway, since June I've been having them way too frequently. Usually 4 to 5 days out of the week. They have become pretty terrifying and i get anxious every night before I go to bed.
I guess I just wanted to know if anyone here experiences these and how they cope with them.
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-07-24 at 4:02 PM UTCI’ve had it a couple times. It’s very scary.
Did you see the hooded guy standing over you? A lot of ppl see that guy.
I had an outer body once. Pretty sure I died or something and hopped back in my body after floating around the room. It was pretty wild. -

No i havent experienced anything with a hooded man. Its usually a deformed, to say the least, child.
Damn. That was probably intense. I haven't experenced the outter body yet either. Hopefully i never will.

sounds like someone is slipping you roofies
do you also notice unexplained pain or bleeding from any or your orifices upon waking? -
2018-07-24 at 4:11 PM UTCI blame the sleep paralysis on melatonin
The outer body....
While I hadn’t consumed any in weeks,I’d been using a lot of lsd (happened in early 20’s)
Only logical explanation -
2018-07-24 at 4:11 PM UTCBuy a couple dream eaters. It's called, Baku. You just hang them on your wall behind your bed and that should help. I've never experienced sleep paralysis a day in my life. I really hope that you take initiative of this repellent resource.

Lack of melatonin or too much?

Hmmm i don't usually have problems falling asleep. I will give it a shot though. Even though i hate drinking just white milk. Yuck. -
2018-07-24 at 4:25 PM UTCSorry to hear that Paige. I didn't know it was a thing till now.
Hope it will pass.

What do you mean? I take Melatonin Pura Activ, it is a food supplement based on Melatonin, with Valeriana (500 mg).
It doesn't do much to me really, which is what I wanted. Just helps a bit reduce the time taken to get to sleep. It promotes relaxation and sleep. -
2018-07-24 at 4:28 PM UTCMy blame is unscientific and merely anecdotal
I was on melatonin every time I had sleep paralysis
Never had it without
I don’t take that shit anymore. A good jerk before bed is all I need👍🏻 -

2018-07-24 at 4:32 PM UTCYou know you can make your own dream catcher with a scissors, piece of paper, and tape. Takes 2 minutes to never be sleep paralyzed again.

2018-07-24 at 4:34 PM UTCI'll make her a pikachu polygamy dream catcher den. But it will cost her.

2018-07-24 at 4:36 PM UTCI thought dream catchers were just something white trash ppl hung up...
