When you can move but the demon doesn't disappear **Boss music starts playing**

* ignores videos and goes to comments to see people stories of sleep paralysis *

Real scientific explanation: "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby"

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

My mum had sleep paralysis once and the terrifying figure she saw was me thanks mum

*When your legs don't work like they used to before*

Me: Has sleep paralysis and dies of heart attack My mom: the phone caused this

Sleep peralesis demon: *Shows up* Me, sleeping under a blanket: *My goals are beyond your understanding*

Me telling my sleep paralysis story to my mum Mum: its the damn phone

Had sleep paralysis after watching the newest chuckie movie earlier this year :( MY CHILDHOOD FEAR CAME BACK FOR ME AND IM 20. Oof :< it's the worst

Literally just had it Definitely not scared to go back to sleep...

"Me telling my brain to forget the scary movie" "My brain the moment i said that" Remember that creepy smile in the hallway and blood dripping?

When I was under sleep paralysis I was just casually pissing. I couldn’t even stop it.

I watched this before bed. Wish me good luck.

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.

Me: *having sleep paralysis* Demon: *Chokes me* Also me: *"Harder, daddy"* Demon: _"What?"_ Also me: "what"?

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

The absolute worst type of sleep paralysis is getting an itch you cannot scratch

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.

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.

Dream: normal mode Lucid dream: creative sleep paralysis: hardcore mode Astral projection: spectator mode Insomnia: game wont start up/keeps crashing Sleep disorder: potato pc Hotel: Trivago

I’ve had a sleep paralysis that a clown tickled my butt

Just experienced this for the first time ever it’s scary

life noggin is the one of the few only education creators i’ll watch and he’s my #1 favorite education content creator

My sleep paralysis did not have a demon,i just couldn't move or open my mouth.

Me : *"Hey brain. Can I have lucid dream?"* My brain : *"Oh what was that? Sleep paralysis?"*

2:32 Hahahh I'm one of the 20% who actually enjoy my sleep paralysis episode. I always roll my eyes when somebody says it's the scariest thing in the world 🙄

LOL my 2nd Sleep paralysis experience only lasted for like 4 seconds (my cat woke me up), what scared me the most is when i woke up the apparition was still there but it quickly faded away after a few milliseconds... i think. Also the shadowy thing's head was shaped like an anvil.

me: oh thanks god only 8% experienced it, can’t be me “People with anxiety and/or depression are at higher risks of experiencing it” me : *oh*

me: **tryna sleep** my brain: * you see that black coat hangin?? yeah that looks like the nun*

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.

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.

*imagine waking up to a furry holding a nerf gun in front of you and it isn’t a sleep paralysis*

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

Sometimes I imagine a scary thing and then sleep paralysis instantly comes

The shot of him cuddling with the Shadow hand is hysterical

>10-25 >Severe anxiety >Irregular sleep patterns God please no.

*when u think u fell from the bed*

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...

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 watch ONE sleep paralysis video a month ago and I have a million in my recommended. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My Sleep Paralysis Demon: Hello, Me: *chuckles* I'm in danger.

Just let it happen, go with the flow you're gets this crazy feeling

if i could move i swear to god i would go full on doomslayer mode.

So sleep paralysis can be caused by stress. But doesn't that make you even more stressed?!

I did have a sleep paralysis. I saw my filippino mom holding a test in which I got an “F”.

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.

It’s only happened to me three times but I find it so interesting the one i had last night was crazy

The scariest thing is when you close your eyes but you can still see it

I had a horrible nightmare and when i tried to open my eyes, I couldn’t.

0:07 "you cant move a muscle" _(Head moves)_

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

I couldn’t open my eyes and thought i was blind 😂

Am I the only one who had sleep paralysis but didn't see any Demons or anything? Maybe it was just too dark.

Thanks life noggin for this video 🙂

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

Me: -has anxiety -is 14 year old -has sleep disorder Sleep paralysis: *It's free real estate*

*Me: Laying in my bed. Demons: Partying in my room^^*

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 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.

Me: Decides to *fall back asleep during* sleep paralysis. *Me:* *Gets a Lucid Dream* Me: I've perfected the art of nap.

"It's not caused by demons but your own brain" Sounds like something a sleep paralysis demon would say.

Ok I understand not moving and breathing during sleep paralysis but the demon interacting with you definitely is supernatural I don’t think your brain would be like “hmm this makes a good horror movie scene let’s put a demon to make it even worse”

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.

"Only 8% Of people experienced this is there lives" I guess I'm one of them..

Make sure to pray before you sleep

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.

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.

I never had a sleep paralysis in my life. And I'm glad.

I’ve had sleep paralysis right before I had to get ready for school and I remember a dark figure telling me to wake up in a woman like voice and to get ready for school. My body didn’t feel like getting up until a loud beeping noise happened. Wait that was just my mom trying to wake me up for school

I’ve gotten so use to sleep paralysis to the point where I feel it coming. “Ah sheereet. Here we go again”

This just happened to me again and I just had to keep telling myself in my mind that it wasn’t real while it happened, im so exhausted lmao

I had sleep paralysis, a metal dancing alien was dancing at the foot of my bed. I was laughing.

It happened a couple times to me, then I named the demon Jimmy, and now we are good friends.

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😭😊

I'm only 8 and I still had it this is really haunting me

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.

"20% of people who had sleep paralysis like it"?! To me that's like saying you like fricking nightmares

Thank you for this. My nightmare is over.

I experienced this when I was 9 and it was horrifying. It wasn’t on my chest tho Because it was scared of my parents noticing. (I slept with my parents)

*watches this right before sleep*

you tried to scream for help. But you cant Alternate: You cried for help. But nobody came...

yeah this happened to me a long when i was younger and it was really terrible for me i was awake of my surroundings and saw hallucination and felt like someone was holding me down and i panicked sm but i learned to calm fown and that can make it worse

When I had sleep paralysis I woke up in my room. I thought I was just lucid dreaming at first cause I was conscious but my room was like rearranged and somehow I didn't even know until I woke up but I tried to move and I couldn't then I tired to scream for help but It was just like mumbling and I couldn't get one single word out. I tried my hardest to move my head but It was like everytime I tried to jerked my head it would go back in the same position i was in before I also tried to pinch myself but that was no use. I was having a full on panic attack in my dream , Suddenly I scream "LORD help me " and I woke up . Honestly if it wasn't for him I don't know what else could have happened , just imagine if I saw a shadow figure or something bad it could have been 10 times worse but the lesson here is praise God for all the good he has done . I can't stress this enough please follow Jesus Christ and not the devil for he is like a roaring like wait for someone to devour , Jesus is the king of all king and the almighty God one day he will return , God bless you all and have a wonderful day thank you ✝️🙏

Sleep paralysis is scary!

>10 - 25 >anxiety >irregular sleep patterns >stress >coffee WISH ME LUCK

I experienced an extreme version of sleep deprivation & because it came from a place of trust it was hard to reconnect with the source. Hope I never get this crap.Thanks for sharing.

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

Why did I decide to watch this just before bed???? I'm terrified now...

If you’re 10-25 you’re more likely to have it. **googles how to reverse time**

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.

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. 🙏

*Big Chungus is what I saw when I had sleep paralysis*

This happend to me and I tried to call my sister but me yelling just sounded like me whispering

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 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

To make matters worse, a metallic alien might break it down at your foot end while you just lay and watch.

I have sleep paralysis and it's the scariest thing I ever have

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
