One Of The Scariest Moments In My Life
by Brett
(Winnipeg)
into this paralysis state. I remember feeling numb all over and I struggled to move my arms and talk. It felt like my ears and eyes were vibrating. When I was able to get some air to speak, it came out muffled. I laid there in disbelief.
As I had never heard of sleep paralysis, I immediately began thinking of demonic possession or abductions; crazy thoughts. I remember hearing whispers to me from my left, and my vision blurred into the form of a shadowed face projected on top of me. I thought I was dying. Then, as if it never happened, I was able to move. The next day I googled it, thinking I'm crazy and found this information. I thought something was seriously wrong with me and am glad that this is a documented occurrence. All in all, definitely was one of the scariest moments in my life.

A Note On Visitor-Submitted Questions:
Publishing sleep stories and questions from our visitors is meant to create a forum for open and proactive dialogue about an extremely important portion of our lives (one that occupies 1/3 of it and affects the other 2/3). It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.
If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
