It happens to kids also, especially during afternoon nap...is it that they re depressed also??

IceColdVeins:

Sometimes dreams trigger it too. After the bad dream, then here comes the bolded.
Read it up

ImaIma1:


Not necessarily. I think hormonal changes affects it too. I had it so much when I was pregnant. Sometimes, even twice in one night. And I gave birth, it disappeared.

emmakolapo:
the day I experience it, I felt like someone was pressing me down on bed and I'm unable to move my body even I couldn't open my mouth to speak, so I manage to shout Jesus my voice wasn't loud enough, by the time I try to shout Jesus the third time I felt relieved and i could move my body and speak and then I prayed after the whole thing.

Divay22:
It's one experience i really don't like talking about because mine was happening to me back to back.
Almost every night. I'll end up feeling gloomy for the rest of the day

Divay22:

Not really. But it's not as often as before.
Mine wasn't ordinary thou. Because it was happening both night and day anytime i sleep alone and the door or window is slightly open.

The only night i get to escape from it is when my mum goes to bed with me else I'll beg for my life.

Bro sleep paralysis happens when you are awake pls,its like this,you wake but your brain is still sleeping,you only see all these hallucinations if your brain was dreaming when it happened,if it wasn't dreaming you don't see anything( this is where your theory comes in). I have had sleep paralysis,where I wake and I can't move my body, like I will literally be looking at my ceiling and bed but can't move my body and after lying for a while,my brain wakes too. I never for once saw myself going to heaven or being chased,I see real things in real time,I just can't move. Sleep paralysis is basically paralysis when falling asleep or after waking up,that is the definition. So as a matter of it does happen when you wake. Sleep paralysis doesn't start from sleep realm,it starts with you waking up,all those once people see,is when they are already awake but their brain is still stucked inside dream..so those things come out as visions or hallucinations

RoiTV2020:


Na Demonic attack, trust me.
Sleep paralysis doesn't leave you with bruises and pains. Everything only happens within that moment, and that's all. Sleep paralysis messes with your brain. But this your own seems more like an attack.

sassysure:

Not necessarily as in depression can't cause that

ruggedboy01:


teach me how to snap out please

Zornes123:
I recall my dad telling my mom how an evil spirit held him in the bed and couldn’t let him move. The prayer that night wasn’t a funny one. Deep down I knew he only had sleep paralysis.
Well about mine. I saw a Jesus like figure talking to me and telling me to repent, out of fear I tried moving from my bed but this unknown force held me down for some seconds. When I was finally able to move i noticed I had tears in my eyes. This happened even before I knew of the term sleep paralysis. I always told my friends I saw Jesus back then. If it was sleep paralysis or Jesus I can’t even tell

ImaIma1:


I don't know if depression can cause it but all sleep paralysis is not linked to depression

I am almost 50. I have been having this sleep paralysis for over 40yrs. It runs in my family. I remember both my parents always get pressed and cry when asleep. What I did then was to rush to thier bedroom and assist the suffering person.

Worst part of this thing is when you hear a sibling or your parents voice, you try to call for help but they wont hear you. I have had to ask my mom once if she came to my room and said 'see how he is enjoying sleep' she confirmed she came to my room and indeed said so. I told her I was dying when she came in and she was perplexed. That stuff remains a mystery to me. I pray it doesn't end someone's existence ooo. All this dying in the sleep news upandan

Goldenheart:


Try these methods

1. Go with the flow.... Stop trying to fight it...

2. You can't move your body but you can Wiggle your toe or clench ur fist....Like you moulding eba..

tiswell:
Always pray before you sleep. Sleep paralysis usually has spiritual connotations.

CaptainFM1:


I understand you. The sleep paralysis the ops is describing is not that of Medical but Spiritual sleep paralysis. I guess that's where we differs.

Bright2:
I believed sleep paralysis is spiritual, I do feel it like others until I used this seed shown below to scare them the spirit away.

Since I place this seed close to my window burglary, I've not noticed it again.

I suffered this paralysis for many years but today that seed has solved that problem, I now sleep well without feeling any paranoid or paralysis.

FrontRunner:

Yea but it's really surprising to know you were put through all that.I also lived in Family House during my Service year and know alot of Shiit went down ooo.Like a time we had to pray for a sister who was used for money rituals by some Rich Dude,She Left the House and later came back very ill but That's by the way tho.
So why would everyone(mamay,papay,Prayoo etc)believe one person over you.Were you giving them the wrong impression about yourself?
PS: I'm a Backsliding Born again Christian.

KGBEAST:

You started with your story without finishing it, what now happened to the girl

fashionale:
There's a demon responsible for this sleep paralysis, but I've forgotten it name. It's real and it's not good. But science won't let us understand it proper. The demons use it as a means to carry out their evil plans on humans especially those who are weak in spirit.

Blackmoran:
Do have it recently and it happens when am less busy during the day, it's so scary but have gotten use to it that it doesn't scare me no more... You knowing how your body and stress level work is a big help.....

incogni2o:
currently battling this, but I think it is due to the mattress I need to change and inadequate sleep

TheGiftedOne:
Each time i leave my Windows open at night before going to bed esp after a heavy downpour, then i experience sleep paralysis. Cold is a strong contributing factor.


There are so many myths about this phenomenon. The physicist, biologists theologians, spiritualist etc.but alas i go with biologists' explanation.
