sleep paralysis! scary sh*t!

I was dreadin this after havin my ba,if I fall asleep any time on my back I get it.

.

Start off layin ther, feel like I haven’t drifted off yet, started to hear footsteps upstairs then walkin down 2wards me, thought oh mum must be home!

Then heard screaching like some kinda possessed animal/demon, getin closer 2 my ear, tried to turn round to see.. couldn’t move, tried to scream,couldn’t, (my eyes r open can see the room) a dark figure walked infront of me I started sayin **** off **** off in my head,coz cudnt speak atal, (seriously it only goes if I swear!) Then bang I can move again. Wth! Had to share this as it jus happened!! 1st time it happened the dark figure got so close to my face walkin towards me frm end of my bed! Thers a scientific reason this happens I’m not bein visited tho..I hope!

Aww hope yr ok chick! I get it to where ill b paralysed in bed n really really scared of summat in my room, but cant move a single muscle, so basically lie there in fear. I watched a programme on it yrs ago, n yr rite, theres a medical term for it.i cant remember the name tho. I always c figures out the corner of my eye but cant turn my head to look at it. Xxx

😯 that is my WORST nightmare!!!!!!! xxx

I’m sooo glad I’m not alone. I get this if I’m overtired, have eaten cheese or had caffeine before bed – night terrors! it’s awful, really scary!! x

Glad 2 hear I aint too! More common than I thought!

The first time I got it I was in tears when it left, seriously felt like a demon had visited me! Had never heard of it before that nite lol sooo freaky!! X

I’ve had this since I was a kid, used to make me cry! and still freaks me out to this day when I have them. I had one a little while ago and then my little boy (16mths) woke up next door and I was so scared to go in and see him when I snapped out of it lol. This is why I can’t watch paranormal activity or anythign like that! xx

I love watchin things like that tho missym83! If I c summat out the corner of my eye, or hear summat downstairs wen im in bed, im the first to go check it out. But its only wen that happens in bed n im paralysed, its freaky. Not being able to get up n turn the light on, or speak. Xxx

I get this at the same time every night It used to be that I saw someone in my bedroom coming towards me, then it changed to seeing things coming out of the walls flying at my face and now its changed to not so scary. Basically every night now at just after 12, I look at the TV and see the same thing on each night even though when I’ve snapped out of it, it’s not even on!! It’s called night terrors hun. I have freaked my bf out so many times when i’ve had them cos he said i stare at him looking petrified but I don’t move and he can’t wake me up out of it!!! xx

Omg !!! I get this only when I’m lay on my back too!!! Always feels like someone’s come into the room bug I can’t move or talk but an awake!!! It’s terrifying! Sometimes I can feel it starting to happen and can wake back up!!! Glad in not the only one = ( xx

hope ur ok hun x never experienced this myself so cant rele help xx

I used to get this too whenever I slept on my back and was also worried about this but, touch wood, I haven’t had it in about a year x

I get this too. Usually when I’ve had a heavy session at the weekend, lol.

I’ve cutback on the partying a bit these days and touch wood haven’t had it for a while – it’s very scary! Hope you’re ok Hun xx

I get this all the time. I’ve had it from a really early age, and it always happens when I sleep on my back which is making me worried about post op. Just try not to go to bed too tired xx

Wow, this is really interesting! I get this too and now some of you have mentioned it I only ever get it when on my back as well. Weird! I feel like I cant breathe when it happens to me. Although I don’t feel like someone is coming into the room – that sounds seriously scary!

i cant believe how common it is

omg gnasher thatd b so bad not being able 2 breathe

same it ONLY happens when i fall asleep on my back, which i only do when i get in bed really tired n fall asleep too quick coz im always on my side otherwise! 1st time it happened was terrifyingm never been so scared, dark hooded figure at the end of my bed slowly comin towards me not bein able 2 scream or move aah!!

I had to go to the doctors over this i felt like somebody was stranglein me in my sleep and i had marks on my neck i MUST of done it to myself x x

Aysha I CANT stand lookin at ur profile pic u are absolutely Gorgeous ya b****! x x

omg hush noway thats well weird i watched something on tv where that happened to someone

aw thankyou! its all the caked on makeup seriously haha x

Ive thought my mate was sat at the end of my bed talkin to me hes dead tho its so scarey i take kalms it helps and i use lavender x x

omg i cant believe theres so many of us, ive only ever met one other person who gets it.

1st time it happend to me was 7 yrs ago and it was a black shadow screaming in a foreign laungage in my ear, id never been so scared.

its still scary but im kinda used to it now.

it got worse when my daughter was born becouse i think i was so over tired and was always listaning out for her.

i get it no matter what position i sleep in, but its good to know im not alone. xx

f**k that its freakin me out! yesterday i had a weird screaching noise in my ear!

once i see my mum come in n ask if im ok, i went downstairs a lil while after n tel her i am fine, n she doesnt even kno what im talkin about she hadnt moved from the sofa! x

OH MY GOD! Please dont tell me this is a side affect of having to sleep on your back?! How come this happens to so many of you?! If it is then I’m serioiusly going to think about cancelling my BA! x

i dont kno what causes it, i kno alot of people who have it when sleepin on ther sides too though! if u havent had it before i wouldnt worry some people r just prone to it im 4 days po and only had it once, when tryin to have a nap lol x

I just find it strange how so many people are suffering with it after having a BA? xx

dont worry holly, ive suffered from sleep paralysis for 7 years it doesnt matter what position i sleep in, i slept on my back sitting up for 3 weeks after my ba and i didnt have it during that time. x

Ive had it on and off for years to x x

Ive had it all my life n it only happens occasionally not every nite! I slept on my side/front pre op anyway. Xx

OMG ive NEVA even heard of this! Ive heard of like night terrors when ppl r in a deep sleep n have a nightmare n shout n screem n move about but neva being paralysed in bed! I crash out n thts me lol hope i never experience this, feel sorry for u all sounds so scary! xxx

This might be a stupid question, but can you move during them or is yur body actually paralysed and it’s just your mind going into overdrive? Because I have all sorts of episodes but I actually leap out of bed/run to the bedroom door in my episodes. xx

i know claire its wel bad!!

i cant move atall laurakate, i feel like im awake an my eyes are open i can see the room, il be thinkin logically, like *** how come the dog isnt barking at this “demon” or the footsteps comin for me?! (dog was asleep nex 2 me, he usually goes nuts at slightest noise) or when my bf was next to me id be tryin my hardest to scream or nudge him, he said id be makin a muffled scream as if someone was coverin my mouth x

That sounds horrific in fairness. From this thread I’ve worked out that I may have these night terrors. Like Hush said, maybe take some kalms? xx
