Bizzare Sleep Problem...?!
Question:
Bizzare Sleep Problem...?
not to often but often enough to be worried about, right before sleeping, when im really really exhausted i often feel paralized, its really frightening, i'll be able to see everything around me but i cant move. This happened once when i was lieing on my stomach and i went to turn over and found that i couldnt move, my face was downward and i felt like i was going to suffocate. Now when i'm really tired i get scared to let myself fall asleep because i'm afraid that it will happen again, i keep having this re-accuring thought that i will freeze and somone will come into my room and like attack me or somthing, or i wont be able to move and i'll suffocate. So if anyone has ever had this happen to them or knows what it is that would be nice, because sleeping shouldnt be somthing i should be afraid of...

I'm not going to lie to you, that has happened to me twice. It was more or less the same thing as you, except I could have sworn that I felt the presense of somebody next to me. I wanted to open my eyes, but i was afraid of what I would see, and I was phsyically not able to open them. I began to pray and that feeling went away not soon enough. Ever since the second episode I have kept the good book near my bed and read from it almost on a daily basis. To this day I have not felt anything anymore. (By the way I was home alone both times)
