[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15953313, member: 181885"] I posted some very similar information in the "haunted house" thread. I totally believe you, OP. Sleep paralysis can be a nasty and terrifying ordeal. I'm not a medical professional, so I'm going solely off empirical evidence. SP seems exacerbated by stress and consistent sleep deprivation. I went through a stint where I would feel sleep paralysis the moment I laid down on my bed. As for the demons that people see? That's where it gets foggy. The state of panic is a fight or flight response, and I believe our minds try to fabricate something terrifying to match the stress/horrific feeling. Recurring makes sense, because after the first time, it's a strong memory and easy to recall. My advice? Don't read into it too much. Work on whatever is causing the stress in the first place. Also, any changes to sleep habits can alter the effect. I noticed mine went away when I closed all doors, left a small soft-blue LED at the opposite side of the room, and kept the fan on. Another trick people use is to focus on an object in the room before bed. Pick it up, hold it in your hand, place it down in plain view. If you happen to wake up in SP, make sure the object is within normal view. Sometimes that helps you snap out of it. [/QUOTE]
