Sleep paralysis is an otherworldly experience. People don’t realize how scary it can be.

Finally a person who doesn't put the scariest images!

How many of you are watching this right after having your sleep paralysis experience? I just had my first one 😭😭 it was scary af i thought i was gonna die

It's definitely scary.... as a grown man who isn't scared of anything I can tell you it's horrible. I don't mind nightmares and some of them are crazy and I have had some scary nightmares but waking up paralyzed is Nuts! I pray for people who have this. I have experienced it a lot lately. That's why I looked it up

“Roses are red” “Violets are blue” “Outside I’m sleeping” “But inside I’m screaming”

Sleep paralysis isn't just unpleasant, it's genuinely horrifying. Several times I literally thought I was going to die because I couldn't move at all, could barely breathe, and it felt like a force was smothering me into my bed.

Thank you for raising awareness on this. It's one of my most traumatic experiences. I had opened my eyes during the sleep paralysis and experienced insane hallucinations and audio ones. It was terrifying and I felt like it was the end.

Just had sleep paralysis last night. It’s always terrifying cause you remember every single detail while it’s happening. It only occurs when I’m under a great amount of stress and/or going through extreme anxiety. After watching a few videos and reading comments, it seems like I have to stop trying to force my body to awake & relax. I must admit, that’s going to be challenging because I always feel like somebody is chasing me or trying to kill me that’s why I want to snap out of it desperately. I’m thankful this doesn’t happen often. 🙏🏾

I’m so used to sleep paralysis by now that when it comes I’m just like “Ah shit, here we go again.”

literally 99% won’t see this but if you do, God bless you, stay safe and have a wonderful day

I have a cousin who suffered an episode of sleep paralysis while in a medical surgery. My cousin who I used to be friends with, suffered a lot of knee injuries throughout his life whilst playing various sports like football and hockey. He eventually got a major knee surgury done in the hospital. He was given some form of anesthesia, which later became futile after the surgery commenced. He was a very large man, both in weight and height and was very athletic; I reckon the anesthesia was just unable to accommodate his large frame. He woke up mid-surgery and felt EVERYTHING. He described it as the worst pain one could possibly imagine, and that it felt like it lasted for HOURS. He even mentioned that he cried throughout it but was stuck in his paralyzed body and could not move nor communicate. It was quite a traumatic experience, no doubt. Has anything like this ever happen to anyone else? Seriously… sleep paralysis ain’t no joke.

I used to suffer from sleep paralysis when I was a child and teen, but it went away. I might even have beaten it myself. It almost always happened when I tried taking a nap during the day, rarely at night and it was really spooky stuff until I learned about what sleep paralysis is as an adult. It would always start with a intense buzzing and humming sound, like static on a radio or an old TV and then I would feel how something scary, some form of entity, like a half transparent shadow would approach my bed and loom over me while I couldn't move. Reading Stephen King's "It" as a child helped me. In it he describes the "Ritual of Chudd" where you defeat a demon by challenging it to a duel of the mind and metaphorically biting into its tongue and not letting go till it begs for mercy. So when it happened again, I would become really aggressive and confrontational, mentally challenging the shadow to a fight and while I couldn't really bite it's tongue, I imagined turning into a powerful beast, usually a large crocodile for some reason and just rip the shadow to pieces in my mind. The last few times it happened I got outright giddy with anticipation. "So, you came back to get your ass kicked again?" I was thinking. Shortly after that it stopped for good. I'm not saying that I believe in supernatural stuff and I somehow defeated a demon or something, but I do think I kind of healed myself from the sleep paralysis affliction somehow though some form of self-hypnosis or by taking charge of my dreams. Now it kind of is my go-to without even thinking about it. Even in regular nightmares, I always turn into a crocodile or some sort of monster and turn it around on whatever is coming after me in the nightmare. I'm strangely aggressive and predatory in my dreams, always hunting down, fighting and mauling the scary stuff instead of being afraid of it. It is as if in my dreams the ability to fear was replaced with a single minded chain dog-like bloodlust and aggression.

Me: trying to relax, sleep, maybe lucid dream My sleep paralysis: I’m boutta end this mans whole career

"Like a demon, or a monster" *shows cat*

last night I had more than 5 rows of sleep paralysis. I knew I had to move my hand to woke up and I did. I woke up everytime and change my sleep position. but as soon as I closed my eyes it started again. I was so tired and I knew the only way to get away with it is to really stand up and drink water and than go to bed again. I also woke my husband up and held his hand and told him to wake me up, when he hears me breathing fast. It's a versy scary experience, no matter how many times you have had this, it'll always be annoying.

Thank you so much for the info i recently turned eighteen and have been having alot of anxiety about exams and negative thoughts not bad enough to be depression tho and i just got first episode today it was terrifying. Also I've been watching your videos for quite some time and It has helped me so much so thank you for your hardwork guys.

I feel like “paralysis” doesn’t really explain what it feels like. I can still feel my body, I just can’t move it. It feels more like I’m in a full body cast or stuck under a pile of bricks with someone sitting on my chest.

Thank god i watched this before sleeping

I had my first episode of sleep paralysis it was so freaky and I’ve heard many stories of people seeing demons but I didn’t see anything luckily

I have a horrible anxiety disorder, and thus sleep paralysis is almost a part of my life. It happens every two weeks, maybe, and when it happens I already know what it is, so I simply remain calm, try not to move, and breath very slowly and lightly. That way I get to focus and slowly gain control over my muscles. That doesn't prevent me from getting up with my heartbeat at a thousand percent, of course, but it helps me go back to sleep soundly. Hope it helps anyone out there!

I remember how terrified I was. I wanted to scream so bad. But nothing was coming out. I hope it never happens again.

Is it just me or you guys also get sleep paralysis when u take a nap and then go back to sleep after a couple of hours?

what i hate the most about sleep paralysis are the false awakenings, when i thought i finally escaped but i actually didn't. I experienced sleep paralysis 3 times already and this shit keeps happening

your voice is calming and helpful

“Sleep doesn't help if it's your soul that's tired.”

Bro can we discuss how sweet and soft spoken her voice is, so comforting.

I have a few steps for you if you should find yourself in sleep paralysis: Step1: DO NOT PANIC under any circumstances Step2: Do not open your eyes, this will decrease your chances of seeing a hallucination Step3: Wiggle your toes or fingers, if they won’t move then attempt to do so this will signal the brain that you’re ready to wake up Sweet dreams everyone

you’re so tired that your eyes hurt to stay open but your brain is still active and doesn’t want to sleep yet. And a sense of dread creeps in. This always triggers my sleep paralysis. Asking Jesus to forgive me of my sins and please protect me before I drift off usually helps. There is no one else to help you even when your loved ones are asleep next to you and your screams are muffled from the paralysis.

Imagine the first person who got sleep paralysis poor person

I had sleep paralysis earlier and it was Terrifying. I knew that it was advised to close your eyes so I did that but I could hear things. I heard screaming and like a growling type noise and it was so terrifying.

I had my first experience with sleep paralysis last night. Felt like something was on top of me, pushing me down, and I couldn’t move. Took me a second to collect myself and calm down to shake it off.

Who Develops Sleep Paralysis?👍 Lack of sleep. Sleep schedule that changes. Mental conditions such as stress or bipolar disorder. Sleeping on the back. Other sleep problems such as narcolepsy or nighttime leg cramps. Use of certain medications, such as those for ADHD. Substance abuse.

As a depressed person, I often experience this and many other terrifying things but I can't do sth about it because I heard coming to sleep specialist costs too much.

Thank you for this video, my episodes are always scary and feels paranormalish/demonic. I see shadows in the corner of my eyes. Last episode was a year ago so I'm happy about that 🙂

I've been having some very weird experiences lately and am now trying to figure out what is happening to my body during these situations. The first time following thing happened to me was a few weeks ago. I was napping in bed, feeling a little sick and woke up from sleeping. I felt incredibly tired and barely noticed waking up. I moved a little and closed my eyes again, but suddenly my body felt like it was shutting down with every new breath I was taking. I just felt how everything slowed down and my mind went like "you have to wake yourself/move or you might never move again" for some unknown reason. That's what I did with a little effort and everything went back to normal after that. I had forgotten about this incident until today, when I was again, napping, this time in school in a sitting position and with my arms and head on a table. I had already slept for about an hour and slowly woke up, still not moving much but my mind was clearing. Suddenly I felt my body shutting down again. With every breath, just like the first time, my head lowered onto the table until I felt truly paralized and started to panic internally. My awake mind forced myself to move somehow and again, everything went back to normal. This has happened twice now, idfk what it is://

I've had sleep paralysis a couple times before and I'd like to leave some tips to prevent anything too scary happening. These are personal things that I do and I have no idea if it works for everyone but just in case I'll post something here. -I've noticed that most of the times I've had sleep paralysis it's when I sleep on my back so I strictly sleep on my side. It's to the point where I actually can't sleep on my back anymore but I haven't had very many experiences w sleep paralysis since I've started doing it. This doesn't completely prevent it though. -When I wake up I always keep my eyes closed until I know I can move. This has probably saved me a few times from seeing some nasty hallucination. -If I wake up and I can't move, I keep my eyes closed no matter what. I've learned that opening my eyes and seeing something nasty is worse than being scared but not seeing anything. Then you just have to keep trying to move until you actually can. After that you should be good to go. I hope that this can help someone, I know it can be super scary believe me, I've seen some very crappy things that left me a bit on edge before. But I've adapted and if I can I think anyone who struggles with this can too.

I used to get sleep paralysis a lot--about every other day when I was in my late teens. The most important thing when it happens is to remain completely calm and relaxed. If you relax and don't try to move, it usually goes away very quickly. However, if you fight it and try to move, then the sleep paralysis lasts longer, and you're more likely to start getting the hallucinations.

I have experienced sleep paralysis twice many years ago. I prefer to call it sleep-wake disassociation. Both times it was when I was exhausted. I was also sleeping flat on my back. The second time it happened I did sense some sort of demonic spirit behind me although I never saw anything. It was very frightening. Since then I make it a habit to only sleep on my side and it has never happened again.

I was really lucky that when I first experienced sleep paralysis I already knew quite some important things about it, from reading about it and because some family members also suffer from it. It was still very unpleasant because I was afraid of seeing horrible things (but luckily I had no visual hallucinations yet), but since I knew what was going on and that it's not dangerous helped me a lot. Now most episodes I find rather annoying than terrifying.

I've had sleep paralysis several times, and to counter it, I just took a VERY deep breath, until I can feel my chest lifting up. From there, I can feel my other muscles moving and then I will be able to move again

It’s one of the most terrifying thing ever. Especially when there’s always a shadowy figure you see or there’s a ‘presents’ in the room.

This video was so calming, I almost fell asleep to it.

had this once is was a high stress situation in mine and my wifes life we had it the same night together i felt as if there was a blanket above me... really scary but fascinating experience and also bizarre how we both experienced it at the same time

This happened to me 3 times and I thought it's the end of my lifee like I literally remember passing out cause of suffocation.

The only thing I hate about sleep paralysis is the deafening ringing in my ears and the weird vibrations traveling throughout my body as if my sould is separating from my body.

I love this Chanel she reassured me about it!

I just had a heart attack last week and today home and recovering I had my first experience after nearly 5 years. Prior to that I had SP consistently from 6 years old to about 35. Not always every night but just about every week and many weeks I would have several events. I have had it thousands of times in all different variations. I’m just hoping this one time was a fluke because of the trauma from the heart attack and the 2 surgeries that followed. I just can’t have this consistently all over again. I wept for 20 minutes straight after snapping out of it while feeling the stents in my still healing heart tingling. That old familiar feeling puts me in a state of fear like no other and that’s coming from someone who’s feared for their lives, including just last week when there were complications and I had to be rushed back into the emergency room while having a massive heart attack from the stent collapsing after the first surgery. It’s just not right that we as humans can experience SP. I’m 41 by the way and my heart attack was due to genetics. F’k this disorder.

Am I the only person here who doesn't get sleep paralysis but think it sounds terrifying? guys stop saying im lucky

I remember once in morning i was awake in my room. I was able to see every corner of my room and suddenly someone entered my room and i tried to move my body but i was not able to move, then i tried to scream as loud as i can but i was not able to scream. It was really a scary experience and i have experienced it multiple times.

Amazing! Ha sleep paralysis 💤 calling out for help, I pray a lot so I was really happy to have woken up

your voice is so calming

I wouldn't mind having sleep paralysis if they looked as cute as the ones in the animation

"It happens mostly to adults" **happy 12 year old noises**

I have experienced it twice in less than a month. The first time happened when I moved to a new house, I had no AC and no curtains so the room was bright due to the street lights. I was sharing the room with my brother and grandma. We just had a ceiling fan installed that made a really annoying sound all night that barely let me sleep. I remember the episode vividly. I could only hear the fan making that annoying sound and saw my brother staring at me without even blinking, I did felt like something was on top of my chest making it difficult to breathe, I tried to move without success and also tried to scream. I then realized it wasn’t real because no one could hear me so I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again.

Usually when I experience it, in the moment its terrifying but afterwards Im always like man that was kinda cool. last night I had it, my older brother came in my room picked up my cat and talked to me for a moment then he morphed and grew taller into this shadowy figure and started reaching towards my face and that's when I noticed I couldn't move my arm to swat away the figure. I started breathing heavy as fast as I could and a few seconds later it was over. It was really cool

Sleep Paralysis is more irritating than frightening.

I've had two sleep paralysis episodes, and while terrifying, they were kind of cool, actually.

I can remember my dreams and nightmares from when I was kid, all them very detailed and lucid. I started having sleep paralysis very young seeing snakes on the wall and thinking family was in my room. The other night I saw a cloaked figure with a white face standing in middle of my room. It was until this year I realize how uncommon it was. At this point know I’m having it and just try to wake myself up. I always try to call out for my mom but I live alone. The best advice the video has is don’t open your eyes. There’s nothing you can do when you experience this so just relax, everything gunna be fine.

I never used to have mental health issues until after Covid. It triggered a multitude of trauma that I didn’t know I hadn’t dealt with yet. I ended up getting help and turns out my mental issues are genetic, they were just triggered by an insane amount of stress. I just recently started having sleepy paralysis and I can not explain the amount of fear when I have an episode. I sometimes stay awake for days for the simple fact I’m terrified of having an episode. The one thing that has helped is not falling asleep on my back. The worst part is the not being able to breath. It literally feels like the oxygen is being sucked out of your lungs with every breathe you take. I guess I’m one of the rare ones that don’t have the hallucinations. I come out of them by closing my eyes and just hoping I fall asleep and wake up being able to move

i don't wish sleep paralysis on my worst enemy. it is one of the most frightening experiences i've ever had! 😭

"I still see your shadows in my room, can't take back the love that i gave you"

Ive been having episodes of sleep paralysis recently. It was so scary for me, because when it first occurred to me, I did not know what sleep paralysis was, I was baffled more than anything, and then followed the feeling of dread. Even now when it happens, I do recognize it being sleep paralysis but I still feel like I can reach out to someone beside me and tell them to hold me upright or shake me or something, but I can't do that and that is so horrifying every time lmao. (btw one way to get out of the situation instead of just waiting it out is, try as hard as you can to shake your head, after a few seconds of hard struggle, it will work :D)

This has to be the loveliest voice to listen to.

"It happens mostly to adults" Me: *has had it since i was at least 4 and im 14* Oh a tip to get out of it. If your mouth is closed push air out of your mouth thus is opens. Also breathe heavier (not scared just heavy) so that your muscles will eventually start moving. If you mouth open then just keep breathing heavy. Ive been doing this for years and it works everytime. Just make sure that you get up and stay up for at least 10 minutes before going back to sleep.

2:13 I like how the V.O yawns while speaking about the morning😅💕

I experienced sleep paralysis first time, when I was about 10-11 years old, since then I am experiencing it 5-6 times a year, yes it is terrifying. I was told that if you put your hands on your chest while sleeping, most likely you will get it, I don't know how Factual it is, based on my experience I generally experience it 1) if I have encountered something terrible during day time, 2) watched horror movie and kept thinking about it 3) too many stressful events In a day 4) interrupted sleep during exams, assignments, traveling 5) sometimes without any reason it happens. How I overcome- I try to chant some holy mantra, and take deep breathes. I keep reminding myself that it is just a dream not reality to calm myself, as soon as I get conscious I feel relaxed. When I was kid I involuntarily shout my mother's name as soon as I get normal. Hope it would help someone, nothing to be scared of, just try to be calm and relaxed.

I've had sleep paralysis since I was a young teenager. It always terrified me and I didn't know how to control at all. It took me yrs. Like over a decade to figure it out. Now I dont get them as often and they're not that scary anymore. A couple tips- try to fall asleep before your extremely tired and just crash and when your in a really scared sleep paralysis episode, the more calm you are the faster you'll wake up. I used to just closed my eyes and reminded myself that I'm just having an episode and it will go away soon. I hope this helps anyone suffering from sleep paralysis.

When I was younger I had sleep paralysis, except I felt the hand grab mine instead of seeing something. It was scary.

I once had a sleep paralysis and i saw nothing, only a black void and i was sleeping on my stomach and i could barely breathe and struggled to wake up because only my mind was awake and when i finally got to wiggle my toes i woke up at 5:55 am, even if i didn’t see anything it was still scary af.

Love your voice 🥺♥️

The first time I had a paralysis episode (age 12) I didn’t know what paralysis was, I actually thought I had died but was stuck in “purgatory” (my dad had recently explained to me what purgatory was at the time) the fact that I can hear everything that was going on around me was so frightening. I kept hoping that somebody would come and wake me since I was the last one still in bed, but nobody did. I got out of it by just relaxing my mind and going back to sleep. When I woke up for the second time for real, I was so frustrated and upset that nobody knew what I was experiencing when I had explained to them the situation. After looking up the symptoms I was having I came to the conclusion that I had Sleep Paralysis. However when people were describing their experiences they mentioned being able to see where there are and sometimes see shadow or demons. In my experience I have never been able to open my eyes and see anything, just darkness like my eyes are closed. I am now 22 years old and still have episodes here and there, I actually just had one before going to UKposts to see if any new discovery’s have been made since my first time lmao 😂 but till this day never met anyone who has had the same experience as me when it comes to not having my eyes open or seeing shadow figures sucks bc I wish I had more ppl that relate 😪

I shouldn’t be watching this before I sleep 😂

I think I had a sleep paralysis a few days ago I had this “dream”. It wasn’t really a dream, it was terrifying. I saw myself, laying in my bedroom. Not being able to move. I wasn’t the only thing I saw, I also saw this black human like figure above me (if I remember clearly. I saw myself like that for a few minutes. Until my vision went blank, still couldn’t move. Then the flashing lights came for a few seconds, it sent tingles down my body, I felt someone almost pressing on me. Then I woke, covered in a cold sweat and I was breathing super hard. When I woke up it was about 4:45am.

You say it's most common in adults but I've had it since I was as young as I can remember. It was scary when I tried to explain what I was experiencing and my family and friends had no idea what it was. Now that others do indeed have it, I feel much more at ease

Its definitely the most terrifying thing ive ever experienced.. Ill never forget that feeling of literally putting every ounce of brain power into moving your limbs to wake yourself fully and that disconnect where you realize its not working... ugh.. Its happened to me 4-5 times that I remember.

Fact, I seem to have more sleep paralysis lying on my back, I avoid lying on my back.

I love how this video isnt scary , i mean , cats instezd of ghosts , genius !

I only get it when I sleep on my back. I try just wiggling, knowing that I can’t actually move but thinking it will “kickstart” my muscles. The only reason im here is actually because I just woke up from it, I was there for at least a few minutes and my eyes were halfway open, and the only thing I could see was my brother hovering over me and choking me unconscious in the pitch black. Took me a minute to realize it wasn’t real, because he no longer lives with me 😂. Why I dont sleep on my back, it happens every single time

I had sleep paralysis today while in the car on a road trip. This helped me learn more, thanks!

I went through sleep paralysis in my younger years (as a child). And yes, it's scary as hell. And to the people who might say "well just relax", no fam, you CAN'T just relax. You literally feel *stuck* in your own body and you can't even cry out for help. And yes, I've tried calling out for my mother, but my voice was either very weak or non-existent.

Sleep paralysis: Exists Panik it happens mostly to adults Kalm begginning in teenage years PANIK

for me, sleep paralysis is part of my life when I'm in it, I go like "Oh im paralyzed again, guess I'll wait so i can sleep and wake up normal again"

I enjoy my sleep paralysis encounters with some of the entities I'd like to call "dream witches". I find those experiences fascinating but of course scary but also something I'd like to revisit every now and then.

i really don't like when people joke about sleep paralysis. *"haha lol my sleep paralysis demon under my bed: partying while i sleep"* it really scarred me as a kid because i had my first episode when i was 5 or 6. also your voice is so calming 💞

My sleep paralysis demon always tries to cut me in pieces with a chainsaw or something like that ...or would hug me. I guess it depends on their mood 👁👄👁

It's happened to me so many times in the last 15 years, I know exactly when it's coming, and I close my eyes right away cuz I HATE seeing the entities... or whatever people wanna call them. However, I know what I've seen, it's been a regular thing for over a decade. Everytime it happens, I see entities standing over me. They're always dressed in black and I cannot see their faces, sometimes I see glowing eyes. That's it.

I also remember when it occured on me. I know i was awake but i cant move any parts of my body, not even my eyes. What i saw is that im in a black place. I couldnt really see anything except dark. And then finally i tried so hard moving and then i could move again! But when i woke up, i was heavy sweating and breathing. I felt so freaking happy when i woke up.

This is the most accurate description I have seen about sleep paralysis.

I swear your voice is sooo soothing! It makes me feel so calm literally never stop uploading I love your videos. I have a lot of problems and your voice makes me a little calmer I love it ❤️

Got one this morning, and i was more curious than scared because i was seeing the difference between our brain or consciousness and our body and its limitations. 😮

I literally just had it a few minutes ago. I grew up having it all the time but it’s still terrifying every time.

If anybody had sleep paralysis for the first time and is panicking. Here is what I did when I was worried to sleep the next night 1. I prayed, but you can do a meditation or just simply skip this step. 2. Grab your plushie, it helps feeling that someone is there to keep you safe. 3. Wear your favourite pj's, feeling comfy makes me feel so much better. 4. Writing down stuff, I wrote something that will make me laugh, for me "Calm down Jamal". It really helped me. I like to think positive when in bad situations. I also just wanna say after having sleep paralysis once, I'm not scared of everything. Spider's still care me but, scary movies don't. If you made it through it, I literally love you, and if you didn't it's ok, it gets better!

I used to have sleep paralysis pretty often until I started letting my Labrador sleep on the bed with me. It has been close to 8 years since I've had an episode thanks to him. It happened once when I first let him on the bed and he woke up knowing something was wrong with me. He started nudging my leg harder and harder until suddenly I could move again. Then he snuggled up to me real tight. Haven't had an episode since.

Coming here after I just woke up from my first ever sleep paralysis at 1 am. I cannot explain in words how terrifying that was. I literally cannot sleep.

This is a good rational scientific reason prior to this I felt like I was being possessed. It’s truly horrifying being inside your body and you can’t move unless you’ve experienced you’ll never know how traumatic it is

*Claim your watching this before you sleep card here.*

I just had my first one last night and it was so terrifying. I fell asleep at around 2:30 and I don’t know what happened. I felt like I was being pulled or something and I felt like something was watching me in the corner. I could not move and I tried to scream but I couldn’t. It felt so real, like I was actually being pulled. I tried to move my arms but they were just not able to move it felt like someone was grabbing them so that I couldn’t move them. Until I started praying and then I could finally start moving. I kept on praying until I fell asleep. I really hope that this is my only and last time getting it.

I’ve been experiencing this since my teens years. At first I was terrified. As this would be happening I often heard voices saying to kill me. Scared the crap out of me. As years went by I just learned to get used to it. I feel it coming before I fall asleep. And now when it happens I just tell myself here we go again and fight it until I can wake myself up. But just recently I’ve started having other dreams. I now have dreams where I know I’m asleep but I feel incomplete control of my thoughts and actions. That trips me out more. Anybody experience anything like this ?
