I experience sleep paralysis Normally when I fall asleep on my back and take a short, afternoon nap. The first time it happened, I dreamt someone was choking me and holding me down, only to finally be able to move and gasp for air. I’ve not had that dream again, but I still feel like I’m being choked and can’t breathe. Idk if it’s just the position I fall asleep in that cuts off air supply? I’ve learned to try not to panic and start by wiggling my toes or fingers. If I can focus on doing that, my body begins to wake up and I can move.
