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.
I'm borderline between medical and spiritual. Although I am not religious in any way, and I hardly believe in ghosts and spirits and demons, the fact that majority of the people that experience this see similar things kinda confuses me. I highly doubt there's a "fear of old hags" switch in our brains that get flipped while this is happening, y'know?
Is it normal to have sleep paralysis episodes continuously?

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?

Same. I do believe in ghosts/spirits because my dad, brother, I witnessed the same erie thing at my grandmothers house years ago.
People who are under stress are vulnerable and maybe that gives (evil) spirits the incentive to attack people or it draws them to those people.
I think it could be both.
