My name is Josh, I have sleep paralysis about once a week. If you have it different than me, it doesn’t mean that I’m a fake. It just means that you have it different than me. I have it very often and it’s very rare someone is able to get me out of it. If you also have SP, I’m sorry for what you have to go through. Also, don’t forget to hug your Grandma.
*EDIT 5/4/23*
It seems like the algorithm got this video. It’s getting 50k views a day at the time of writing this when it used to get a couple of hundred a day.
I am now 30 years old and I still suffer from sleep paralysis. If you look at my pinned comment from last year, I logged my sleep paralysis and got it over 75 times in 2022. Thats one episode of sleep paralysis for every 4 days of that year. That is an average year for me. I’ve had it since the first time I could remember at the age of 5. This video is not monetized and no, I didn’t “fake” this for self attention. Again, it’s impossible to twitch my neck like that when I’m not in SP. I am, however glad this is getting attention to spread awareness to this horrible sleeping disorder. I hope someday that there will be a cure. If any media outlets want to use this video, I’ll sign off on any forms, just as I have before. Find a way to contact me (check my other videos). Thanks for all the comments, I’m sorry I can’t get to all of them. I’m getting dozens an hour at this point. Be well, don’t forget to hug your grandma.

I'm used to having a sleep paralysis everytime i messes up my sleep schedule. If you're having one just try to wiggle your toes and you'll wake up, works for me everytime 😉
Creo que es el famoso “ que se te sube el muerto”.
When I was younger I always said “just wake up?” Until one day I was in a sleep paralysis, i thought I was gonna die. 😅
Always kinda wondered what that feels like
I had sleep paralysis once and could immediately identify what was going on. In my opinion, sleep paralysis is a condition where we feel we are awake but actually we are not. The brain feels that our body is fully awake when in reality we are still half conscious. So when we try to move our body parts, we can't. Because command signals from the brain are still unable to reach the body parts, because the brain is still half conscious. Our eyes seem to be able to see around us, even though they are actually still closed. It's just the last visual recording of the moment before we close our eyes to sleep. So I think sleep paralysis has nothing to do with spirituality.
first time when i got this, i tried call mom ,thought im gonna die, then as soon as my breath run out, i woke up. Ever since that time, whenever i have sleep paralysis ,i'll simply just hold my breaath until my brain say "alr you win" and wake me up.
It happens to me it’s scary af
When that shit happens to me I just mentally "button mash" until I get out of it.
Used to happen to me every night but after yoga and Ayurveda routine i have reduced it so much
Bro is Donnie Darko
What is sleep paralaysis
Donnie Darko?
What…??? I thought you were supposed to be awake for it to be sleep paralysis?
The only cons of sleepin alone
If you are experiencing a sleep paralysis episode, pray. I don't care if you don't believe in god. Just pray. It works for me everytime
I've experienced this some times and i know what that is. I don't have it but it happened. I'm so sorry that yours is very tragedic. Hope one day you'll be alright🥰🥰
At sleep paralysis the body part region become numb..how he was able to move hand?😅
It happened yesterday to me
i got sleep paralysis 4 times in 1 minute,i forced my self to get up iys really hard
I had a full-blown sleep paralysis experience once. It occurred toward the end of a dream I was having where I was actually laying in a bed trying to fall asleep. As I woke up in my real bed I was like wait am I dreaming or not? Why can’t I open my eyes? And I couldn’t move a muscle and I started to freak out a bit so I just forced myself to stay as still and calm as possible until I eventually woke up. Felt like it went on for about 5-10 min. Freaky stuff
does it hurt?
I try to film me having sleep paralysis for years now.
I experienced sleep paralysis when I was a kid
My experience was that I wanted to scream so bad but I was unable to in my dream this happened when I see some scary ghosts in my dream
But when i grow older and learn that ghosts don't exist
And I am not scarred by them
So I don't get nightmare and sleep paralysis
👍👍👍
I once was sleeping and had a nightmare, i figured out that it was a dream and i was yelling for my parents inside the dream(i was young at the time) for some reason i was flashing between reality and the nightmare at the same time, when my parents came i was asleep. Just when they were leaving i woke up and i called them back to comfort me for the rest of the night. This has only happened once in my entire life. I still don’t know what it was.
I don't have Sleep Paralysis but I wonder what it is.
Call upon the heavenly Father! I used to experience sleep paralysis and Jesus sent relief and set me free from those demons. God is good. Lift His Name and His Son's Name up high!
is he just sleeping and u guys woke him up? what is sleep paralysis
It happened with me 4 yrs ago, My mom wake me up & Then I felt I can breath now
Plz hear islamic ruqyah you will never get it again ❤!!
It's even worse when it comes with hallucinations.
Sleep paralysis might be scary at first. But once you get used to it, and you get lucid dreams, it becomes fun. I treat it like GTA where I do everything I wouldn't do IRL due to consequences.
I have the opposite of this, I don't really get the "sleep-limb-lock" so I tend to flail around at night and suddenly jerk up because I moved my arm and it feels like I'm falling
shit sucks doesnt it
You motherfuckers don't realize that you can use sleep paralysis to your advantage. It is the only phase where you're conscious while being half awake and half asleep besides SATs. Turn this to your favor by lucid dreaming on whatever you desire in life.
Aww, is that his grandma? How sweet, comforting him!
My dad has sleep paralysis sometimes, he makes weird groaning sounds while its happening.
In my culture it's believed that the demon that pressures your body from moving. Sometimes they show itself too
What sucked for me was that once I completely understood the concept of sleep paralysis and figured out that by not really panicking and freaking out, I could get back to regular sleep and even lucid dream, it stopped. I haven’t had sleep paralysis for years. It’s like it gave up on me. I’m pissed. ✊🏻😡
I usually just wiggle my toes or fingers until the rest of my body catches up lol. I have this fear that if I don't wake myself up I'll die in my sleep. Does anyone just sleep through it?
