I kept having them for about a whole week every time I would wake up or fall asleep. Most of them were mild; I couldn't move. The one I remember the most was when I was falling asleep and all of a sudden I couldn't move or breathe and it felt like something was choking me. It just felt like an evil presence, nothing specific. I think I thought of an old lady once. I never saw anything but I felt like that's what was there. Bahaha why are old ladies so scary?
For me I think it happens when I'm really stressed out, especially if I fall asleep on my back.
I only had it a couple nights a few months ago. I didn't really do anything besides try not to fall asleep on my back. I heard it happens more often when you sleep on your back.
Yeah, I heard that, too. I tried to sleep on my side last night, but it was just awful. I kept switching sides (I was in a car accident, so the side I used to sleep on all the time is a little messed up still) and tossing and turning. I fell asleep on my back (go figure), and nothing happened. So it was just a random chain.
My partner had no idea wtf was going on, LOL.
lol. Yeah I've only ever gotten them in clusters. My boyfriend had a few after we watched The Fourth Kind. He's afraid of aliens and he thought they came to abduct him.
Is it normal to have sleep paralysis episodes continuously?

Do you still have them? If you don't, is there something you do differently now than you did before?

Lol, well, I dunno about aliens. If someone else is next to you, and awake, they know you weren't abducted, haha.

Unless they erased everyone's memory!
There was a line on his back or arm and he thought something had scratched him. XD
So what are your thoughts about sleep paralysis? Do you think it's just medical/scientific?
