I have it all the time. When i get home from school i watch tv and slowly fall to sleep, and its at that stage where i get sleep paralysis.
I can think and see but i cant move. Its actually quite a horrible experience... Especially when your 10 year old brother moons you whilst he thinks you are sleeping and you cant move to stop him
Oooh its horrible, who else has it? or has had it before.

Where you are not quite asleep and not quite awake.
What often happens when sleep paralysis strikes is the sufferer believes he/she is not alone: a presence is often reported. With children it is usually the shadow of the bogeyman or the soft light of angels - either worst nightmare or a comforting apparition.
So they tell me.
I've felt that myself a few times; in oen dream I quite simply looked in the mirror, then my own face slowly moved into focus, grinning, and I soiled myself. God I must a scary, twisted looking git for that to happen.
Tis fun, though, nothign better than a bit fo good old fear.

If you are really tired, watch the TV, (I am usually watching ready steady cook) but make it something you want to see the end of.
This way you will try to stay awake. But if you lie down you cant help but drop off.
But as you are trying to watch the TV you keep yourself partially awake and this is where it starts to happen.
Your chest will feel heavy because your breathing rate will drop and you will feel achey, because you heart rate will also drop. And there it is. You cant move, even if you try you just wont have the power to move.

When you go to bed, put some music on (earphones are needed) then just wait till you fall to sleep, (this sometimes doesnt work) you will then gain consiousness again to try and turn your music off, but you wont be able to move.
This one doesnt last as long because of you really wanting to turn your music off because it seems really annoying when you are trying to sleep.
Try it, but try not to think about it or you wont be able to do it.
