Does anyone suffer from Sleep paralysis, if so share your experience or suggestions for a cause...?

Answer:
the folklore in my country (mexico) refers to that experiencie as "se te subio el muerto" (that means that someone dead has just got on top of you and thats why you can't move), but with this i don't mean to frighten you! it was just one interesting fact you may like to know...
now.. if you want to know the "psicological" or "physiological"cause... here is it.. you may know.. that when we sleep.. our brain disconects the concious part so that the inconcious begins working... (that's why we dream and also that way our brain makes new conections for everything we learned during the day).. but that's not that simple... dreaming has a process that consists in 4 steps and in each step we are more heavily slept than in the previous one...
so... why is sleep paralysis provoqued??...
imagine you are just falling asleep.. your brain is just disconecting and your unconsious is just "wakeing up" you are aware of what is happening arround you but also your unconsious is making his part makeing you see... hear.. or feel thing that aren't there... thing thar are a kind of memory of your actions of the day.
other cause is that you are already sleeping.. and for any cause you are suddenly waken.. maybe a noise... or maybe something inside your brain... maybe your concious has just ended his regeneration time but your unconcious hasn't ended doing his job.. so.. you are awaken but you can't move... nor talk... you are just there.. laying.. seeing and listening everything around you (a thrilling thought no?)... and that's the cause... the conections in your brain hasn't being restored in so little time... so your 5 senses are working but it seems that your will isn't..
a way to make this a little less annoying is thinking fast... while you are lying there.. think anyting but fast... (in my country they tell you to pray... remember.. that thing about dead coming and laying over you... but it's not the fact of praying the one that helps you.. it's the facto that you are makeing your brain wake up completely...)
hope it helped you!

Hi, I have Narcolepsy and suffer the full tetrad of its symptoms: Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and Hypnogigic hallucinations. I really hate having SP, because I hate not being able to move, and I often have HH at the same time, so I will be terrified seeing creatures,etc. from my dreams that seem real. For more about my experiences with SP, check out www.myspace.com/discuscatcher and be sure watch my videos there. Rachel Russell
