In this video we're going to cover the neurobiology and neuroscience of sleep paralysis and try to uncover some of the fascinating theory behind why it happens.

    Have you ever had sleep paralysis? What was it like?

      Yes, I have also undergone this kind of paralysis like intruder in the bedroom and I am unable to move. My upper nd lower limbs are paralysed nd i am trying my best to move nd to scream out loud for help but I am helpless. This situation lasts for more than two minutes. It's horrible nd i feel like the intruder will kill me and I won't be able to tell someone 😥

      I literally just had a small episode of this. My arms and body went numb and i felt as if i was "falling down into something". Then i felt an entity behind me (at the side of my bed). I sensed it was a woman. She had evil intentions but i actually fought back against this entity even though i was feeling overwhelmed with fear. I was angry about being attacked. Eventually my symptoms subsided and i felt "normal" again. So strange :|. Ive never had that happen before.

      I've been having sleep paralysis since 2008.im friends with my demons now.lol
      I usually breathe deep and come out of it ,if I struggle then the episode lasts longer.
      My top 3 episodes through out the years :
      1.once I was sleeping after having a very long tiring day and I got the episode and I was so tired ,I was like "fuck off,not today,I'm so tired today " and it just went away.lol .some Mind games 🤷‍♀️
      2.a woman seated near my leg,covered in black, shes nt tryna hurt me,but she's just seated there.lol annoying.
      3.i was resting on a man,he was holding me from behind,I cud see his arms ,but not his face obviously ,so he was telling me to take deep breaths and help me get out of the sleep paralysis
      This was the most weird one.someone tryna help me.lool

    Sleep paralysis is pretty scary if you ever experienced it. You literally can't distinguish dream from reality anymore. Had it happened to me twice before and to this day, I still sleep with my nightlight on. I am still unsure of what I experienced. Part of me be giving myself a scientific explanation while the other part still terrify and confuse whenever I think about it. The shadow felt so real.

    I've gone through this so many times that I already mastered the trick and let me share it with you:
    1. You are conscious, so you can keep calm by telling yourself "It's not real it's all an illusion"
    2. Instead of trying so hard to wake up try to go back to sleep instead and after a few moments you will wake up in a calm state instead of waking up out of breath and with your heart beating out of your chest.
    You're welcome 😊

    I have experienced sleep paralysis multiple times. All the experiences were when I was about to sleep and the worst part is that I always felt it coming and knowing the horror that awaited me. There was this time that it happened when I was sleeping on my stomach, my face pressed against my pillow and couldn't breath. The double horror of me hallucinating and thoughts of me dying was devastating. The levitation made me think that I had already kicked the bucket. ha ha ha.

    I get sleep paralysis 2 to 3 times a week ever since I was a kid. I only had one hallucination though, where a black shadow was walking towards my bed while hearing something talking in my ear, I was so scared my heart was beating so fast. I always get the feeling of something evil that is trying to possess me that I can't see. Most people don't understand how terrifying this is until they experience it. Keep up the great work!

    I had sleep paralysis once a few months ago. I couldn’t move and when I tried to talk my words were slurred. My mom who doesn’t live with me was coming into my room and saying very weird and creepy things. I then heard something like a demon saying indistinguishable things to me. I then said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ”. That was the only thing I was able to say it clearly. It instantly stopped and it hasn’t happened again.

I shut my eyes tight, I do NOT let myself see the demons cuz fuck that, but imagine the sound a blanket makes when you rub it with your finger. Imagine that, but really far away. Suddenly, it gwts progressively closer and closer, louder and louder. Oh, did i forget to mention it sounded like something was crawling across my bed? Btw that something must have had hundreds of legs based on the sound it made, right on top of me. Nothing on earth, no amount of people i like liking me back, money, or anything could have made me open my eyes at that moment. Nothing.

      Ask for help from God or Arch-angel Michael. You will be relieved in a second from that sleep paralysis. Put that in your sub-consiouss and you will witness the power of God that release you in a second! All you have to do is ask. While you're at it ask to arch-angel Michael to put that entity or whatever put you in that state to bring that being into the light. So the attack next day won't happen again. These are all caused by entities. Put that armour of God inside you. When it happens to you just make a little prayer. Know that you will be always helped if you ask for it

    I have had sleep paralysis about twice a week for 35 years. It can be terrifying not to be able to regain control. My hallucinations when I was young were the typical demons but now I'm completely aware of what I am experiencing I get more familiar hallucinations. Like seeing a family member talk to me when I know they aren't there.
    I have trained my partner to look for the signs and shake me. I try and scream and he hears a small noise and he shakes me. He has videoed me a few times. It's creepy. Eyes completely aware but paralysed. The hallucinations are usually a combination of what is in the room with a layer of hallucination.

    i am 76 now but in my early 30"s it happened 3 times,looking back i believe now it was caused by stress i was going through due to my marriege breaking up.I felt i was awake but was completely unable to move any part of my body,i could see the bedroom ceiling and walls but could not move to see more,i was screaming in fear,also one of the times the shadow of a black cat on the wall, when i awoke i was covered in sweat and woke my wife and kept on asking her "Did you not hear me screaming,she answered What? not at all. we did have a black cat who often prowled around house.other 2 times happened a yr or so later when i was alone.Its the most dreadful feeling imaginable being awake but unable to move your body.also around these times out of body experiance just once but it was incredible and not a bad feeling i felt being lifted towards a light beam with a fab electrical type feeling in my body,i feeling of peace,after just a short while i felt being going down,the time was mid afternoon when i went to have a lay down as i had a broken leg and was unable to work.i have never taken any drugs so that is ruled out.No stress since in my life so thats the reasoning i believe that these eposodes occur.

    I have had sleep paralysis for years, involving visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations.
    My advice to you when it happens again during one of your nights is to first become aware that you are experiencing sleep paralysis. Once you realize this, it may calm you down: you realize that everything that happens in the next few minutes (which sometimes seem like an eternity) is unreal and can't really hurt you.
    Afterwards, don't try to fight this sleep paralysis. The more you fight to stop it, the more you will see that it doesn't work and that you can't get out of this paralysis just by screaming, unlike a typical nightmare. So the more you move or scream, the more scared you will become, and it's a vicious circle.
    Instead, keep your eyes closed. You will be much less likely to see anything like visual hallucinations if you keep them closed all the way through. You may feel auditory and tactile hallucinations, so think of them as pleasant sensations. Yes, imagine it's like someone is having a massage! The touch, which scares you at first, will become more pleasant and you will be less afraid.
    Without even realizing it, a few moments later, you will fall back into a normal and pleasant sleep.
    Also, being a Muslim, sometimes, when this happened to me, I would recite the call to prayer (named Adhan). I don't want to go into hypotheticals, that is far from my intention. It was just something I did personally from time to time. When I did it, I would feel the presence that was there was afraid, it would scream and it would start to disappear, and then I would wake up calmly afterwards.

    Sleep paralysis is terrifying but as time passes by you get used to it. I had to deal with it alone. My first experience was in my teens and my parents told me to just pray, so I did. Only to realize it was futile because I would suffer multiple sleep paralysis in one night. I don't perceive sleep paralysis as a negative thing. I got rid of my fear of darkness and ghosts🤷🏻‍♀️ it's normal to be afraid since the amygdala/fear response gets activated. You learn to control your way of thinking. I know hallucinations can't harm me and they aren't real. To be honest, I enjoyed it. It feels like a 4D/realistic horror movie.

  • @Elias-hy5ps
    @Elias-hy5ps 3 роки тому +8

    I experienced sleep paralysis in 2009.
    It all started when I started my literal quest to find out if God really does save, and I started praying every day and reading the Bible.
    That's when I was demonically attacked daily for a period of 9 months. I couldn't tell anyone or call the police because nobody even knows that exists. Sleep paralysis is most definitely brought on by lack of sleep/stress etc which I was going through crazily, and the devil that is Satan decided to attack at my weakest moment.
    It all started one night; and I just woke up at like 3 am and to my shock my alarm clock radio had a strange static noise that turned into an actual voice. This voice was dark and heavy and it was speaking a language I've never heard, and I realized I couldn't move, I couldn't even flinch a toe, but my eyes were open and I was awake and I was fully aware.
    Accompanying this strange ominous voice literally coming out of my alarm clock radio as I was paralyzed I also felt a strong presence of evil like nothing from this world that I could not compare to, scarier than any horror movie or any legend or loire, more menacing than the worst serial killer. A real demonic spirit. It was the actual presence of evil, and I knew that I was locked into a moment of horror and fear over being confronted by a real demon, an agent of Satan himself that wants me dead.
    After that it more or less became a nightly thing, and the demons would torment me in any way they could even while I was awake I saw demons in random people walking around, and dark shadows in the shape of a human.
    My nightly horrors were plagued by a faceless creature that haunted my dreams, it was like something out of the hollywood Freddy Crugar but only real life.
    One time I was in this dream and immediately I consciously said to myself in the dream; "You are dreaming"... So I acknowledged that I was dreaming, and I also already felt the presence of whatever demon was inside the dream waiting for me. By that point without even seeing any figure, I just exclaimed outloud: "Are you Satan?" And no sooner than the words left my mouth I fell to the ground, unable to move, unable to scream over the horror of the presence of the darkest evil imaginable. Then I woke up and felt frozen and with all my strength rolled over, and if you can roll over your gold, its over.
    Over time the demonic attacks wore me out and I wanted to die. In my torment I went into the wilderness on some mountain with no-one around and I prayed out loud in tears to God for hours. I said if God saves, then save me. I'm gay and thought I was destined to burn in hell, but despite all that I woke up the next day and every worry and fear was literally gone in an instant.
    Every bad feeling replaced with overwhelming joy and content. God's Spirit in Jesus entered me. I finally surrendered to God and acknowledged the truth. The truth being that God became a human as Jesus to die for all sin, and because of that death is conquered the battle is won.
    This feeling of grace and peace was like a shield around me and it lasted for months, but as is the way we are human, we sin, and eventually I felt the Spirit draw distant. Not that I'm no longer saved, but God had to intervene or else the devil would have had me killed.
    In the name of Jesus I told the demons to leave and never come back and that's exactly what happened.
    Evil has no power other than what we give it, the only real power in existence is that of God.
    Yes sleep paralysis happens it can also be scientifically proven, I'm not at all denying that.
    Rather I'm saying Satan extorts this weakness and frail state of people to wreak havoc on us. Even more so if you are actively trying to seek out God.
    Scientists believe what you want, I know what I saw, and the enemy wants me dead for my witness.
    It's like when someone's getting murdered and you catch them but try to run away, and they want you dead because your witness could testify against them.... that's the relationship I have with the devil. I had to learn how to fight real evil, like something out of Harry Potter, and in the process realized that God was fighting for me, He saved me, just like they say He does.
    I'm shocked over how much evil I saw, but I guess these demonic spirits thought they could reveal themselves to me because I already know about God and evil.
    A demon for example wouldn't want to be so blunt to someone who doesn't even know God exists. Because if a demon showed itself to a non-believer that person would realize if Satan is real, God must be real too therefore look into how to get saved.
    To the remnant of the genuine true God's people beware: You're a target! All this video does is help the people sleep at night who are oblivious to the reality of our existence. Sleep on.

      For 20 years you've had sleep paralysis episodes, wow mine only lasted less than a year. If you've had a particularly stressful day or you're extremely tired try sleeping on your side sometimes. When the body lays flat you're even more relaxed which can help induce sleep paralysis if you're prone to it. Sleep paralysis itself is due to absolute exhaustion and losing sleep while experiencing extreme turmoil/anxiety those are the things that create the perfect recipe for sleep paralysis to occur.
      If you've had this that long it could be worth seeing a doctor about it. But the most powerful thing you can do is pray to God for protection. Sleep paralysis is an easy door for demonic attacks and if the devil thinks you're one of the chosen then you will be a target. Depending on what you know, like if you're personal witness of God is helping others to see the truth then every effort will probably be made to wipe you off the face of the earth. This is where discernment and wisdom must be played, you must acknowledge and live by the only real power in existence which is that of God. The second you acknowledge that demons have no authority over your life you disempower them, the truth is that the battle is already won.
      There's a lot you can do to help yourself; any activity that makes you feel calm, such as being in nature, you could listen to one of those quiet frequency chakra activation videos to clear your head. When the mind is sick the body is sick, so cleanse your thoughts. Ask God for guidance and will be given to you, just look for the signs.
      I connect with animals for example; I get signs and warnings from birds. When I see eagles and hawks I usually know I'm headed into a battle of some sort and it gives me time to anticipate and gather myself. I'll ask God for signs even when I'm driving to work and then all the sudden a truck will appear in front of me with the phrase "have strength" or something. I use to experience sleep paralysis but it was just God testing me to prepare me for what I would endure after that. These days real satanic witches plot and scheme my literal death, the other month I was under some kind of demonic attack it was like I was like spellwork being sent to me from someone. I had this dream and I saw a baby beaver and the beaver transformed right in front of me into this 8 foot tall furry human like demon. It was tormenting me and it wanted me dead, so from time to time I still do get attacked I just don't have sleep paralysis anymore I overcame that with God's help.
      Anyways I prayed every day for the help of angels to be in my workplace where this witch is, I was sitting in my car on my break and asking God for a sign that I was being protected and a coyote appeared in front of my car looked at me then disappeared into the trees. The next day when I came to work I was looking for another sign and right before I pulled in, this massive truck had a huge coyote painted on the whole side.
      It was an angel, my protector disguised as an animal. God is at work, don't be spiritually asleep, call on the Lord for help and you will be helped.

    My first time having sleep paralysis was very scary. I was around the age 11 or 12 and I was sleeping on the couch. When I ‘woke up’ I couldn’t move at all. I was trying to ask my mom to help me but no words came out. The really scary thing was my face was facing the back of the couch. I could barely breathe because of how much my face was buried into the couch. I also felt someone there not like an actual person it’s hard to explain. Luckily it stopped and I just didn’t know what to do. I’ve had it a couple of times and when it does I try my best just to be calm and wait it out. Recently I’ve gotten dreams where I can’t talk/scream and I read a thing where it could be a sign of sleep paralysis or light sleeping. I hate not being able to talk in my dreams.

      first time I had is when i was around 14-15 years old.
      It is completely demonic! I saw demons, they were coming to torment me.
      The only one who can save us from demons of God.
      This is serious. Demons will never leave people alone.
      Jesus was and is my saviour. He saved me from that hell I went through.
      I found also channel of Evangelist Sarah, she prays in tongues.
      It is a warfare channel, she is a prophet as well.
      I beg all people, come and pray there.
      She has life sessions. It is a life saving place

    I experience SP on a nightly basis starting at the age of 20 now 25 and I've experienced all 3 forms of Sleep Paralysis experiences named in the video. The out of body sensation is always the most interesting one. Sometimes I'm floating around my room and see myself lying there or sometimes as I fall asleep and I feel sleep paralysis about to hit, I sometimes choose just to let it happen rather than stop it and that's when I have the most interesting experiences such as those being mentioned in the video about comparing what being on LSD is also like. I would see floating patterns, colors, various cartoon like characters walking or running around me or sometimes I'm floating around at high speed around my town except that all the stores and people are dramatically different. My heart beat also goes really fast during these episodes because I'm afraid of heights and when I'm having this out of body experience, I can't control myself because my "spirit" floats higher and higher and I can't stop it. These experiences always happen after I go to sleep and sleep paralysis takes it's effect on my mind and body.

    Had it last night and it was pretty underwhelming compared to the plethora of stories that exist. I was just facing the wall with my eyes closed, hearing the fire alarm go off and the sounds of distant screaming and panicked footsteps. The whole thing lasted maybe 40 seconds from when I realized I couldn't move to me sitting up. An overall bizarre experience, but not really that terrifying

    I've had sleep paralysis several times but without the scary hallucinations (I've also had it with scary hallucinations, but that's a different story). The most memorable paralysis experience took place on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I was laying on the sofa in the living room with the sun shining through. I had been reading and fell asleep. Then I "woke up" and tried to raise up off the sofa, but I couldn't. It felt like I was straining every muscle to move. I dont' remember falling back asleep, but I also don't remember when/how it stopped.

      i have experienced sleep paralysis twice in one week one time i woke up without being able to move and i felt the start of being panicked. the scary part were the hypnopompic hallucination that came with it i heard loud whispers like ghosts doing some ritualized chanting and the thing that made me loose my shit was that my right shoulder started to shake without me doing anything, it was like i was a sacrifice.
      The next was when i fell asleep in a weird position and i woke up not being able to move and i heard pantings beside my ear and felt someone hugging me like a sex crazed rapist that doesnt care about anything but i let everything happen as i knew this was similar and was curious how long this hallucination would go on for and i could end it myself and gain true consciousness.

When i first started getting it around 2012-2013 i remember googling it and there really wasnt that much information and I never heard or seen anyone talk about it before. But now everyone knows what it is and ive seen so many memes about it.

  • @Drewvjr

    First time I had this I had just come home from a month in Asia so my sleep pattern was really messed up. I woke up to a loud noise in my ears, feeling like something was in my room watching me, tremendous pressure on my chest which made it hard to breathe, and I couldn't move or open my eyes. I was flipping out. when It lifted, I jumped out of my bed trying to catch my breath. I've never even so terrified in my life. It happened a few more times over a month period after my trip. Every summer after I came back from a long trip abroad, I'd have this issue. I still get it every so often but I feel like I've mastered the issue. I know what's about to happen and just let it happen and stay calm. Sometimes I get the sensation im levitating out of my bed. Again, I stay calm and know it's nothing bad and its in my head and will be over soon. Key is to stay calm.

    How to help sleep paralysis or help to wake up from it,
    I’ve been able to move my small fingers and some toes, and after I wiggle them 10 secs
    And eventually my arms and legs follow suit and I wake up,
    It’s scary I’ve had it 4 Times it’s Scary.
    P.S.
    The first time I was having a dream Sitting on my Back and started to enter Sleep Paralysis
    And started not to be able to move it was bright and sunny outside so there weren’t any scary demons or aliens
    But I could see my eyes were stuck close so I couldn’t see or couldn’t move and started to freak out,
    Then my Tongue started To choke me and I woke up! Thankfully.
    The second time I had it and immediately knew it was and read that you can move your small fingers and toes
    So I stayed calm and started doing it and woke up, but then 3 mins later I started to sleep again and FOR THE 3RD time
    I was staring at a computer screen and it started slowly spinning,
    I stayed calm but when it’s kept getting faster and faster I started to freak out, then the screen kept spinning but
    Got smaller. And everything went black, eventually I woke up and stayed up long enough for my body to fall asleep on its own.
    Last night I had it again and I couldn’t move my body or Head or mouth and my eyes, were partially open and so was my mouth
    But I noticed I could move my arms and grabbed my face which I could feel me grabbing and eventually woke up,
    Not as Bad as the 3rd time but it was really scary.

    I’ve been suffering with sp for years and years. Now I’m not sure if I’ve commented on this one before, or another one - but I turn my sp hallucinations in to Lucid Dreaming. I know a lot of people think that the entities are real, but they’re not. And I know they’re not real for 💯 because when I hallucinate scary demons, I turn them in to anything else I think about, and they disappear. If the demons were real they would still be there when I think of something else, but the fact they go, tells me it’s all what your mind creates.
    Now when I start thinking of something else when I see dark demons, I then automatically see the person(s) who I’m thinking of,& it’s a beautiful experience..
    I think it’s such a gift to have if you are experienced enough to turn it in to something else (and without panic) which you learn overtime.
    This happens to a lot of people over the world, and the reason they always fear the worse, is cos they don’t understand how to turn something ugly in to something beautiful. And when you’ve mastered that without panic, you’ll gladly welcome your lucid dreaming ❤❤

But wen I come out of it my heart beat is always risen.

    enjoyed this. I have this too I first experienced at age 11 which was daily (very quickly too) and at times more several times a day. Many years later, not many changes (aside from lifestyle changes and trial ad error).. Everything discussed I though was completely on point. I think the feelings and sensations we experience are simply a byproduct of fear associated with going from deep REM dream sleep, to even a very basic level of awareness.This is my experience in having this type of disorder/symptom for 25 plus. in addition to having it for so long and the frequency of them.

The last one was three years, back. I assumed I was awake but could not move limbs for a while. I had to force my brain very strongly before finally getting the message to the limbs. I woke with a slight headache, but relieved.

    This happened to me once a few years ago, absolutely terrified the bejeezes out of me! Wakened up in the middle of the night and couldn't move. Didn't have any hallucinations, just felt like my whole body was being held down, was trying to move but couldn't. I could see round the room and move my eyes. Only lasted maybe 30 seconds to a minute and then suddenly it was gone and I was up out of bed like a shot, heart going like a freight train. Not a good experience.

    I believe I’ve had sleep paralysis more than once. On November 30th of last year, I remember sleeping in my basement on my couch because of a Christmas party and I remember waking up and not being able to move, only for a shadow to appear above me, staring at me as bloodcurdling screams begin to rise in volume, soon becoming enough for me to jolt awake. If my friends weren’t sleeping in my basement that night, I’d probably be a lot more terrified. But, that wasn’t the worst I’ve experienced. I remember having a dream about playing an arcade game a few years back where everything was red and there was an 8-bit person who began talking to me. At first, I didn’t think much of the dream, it didn’t scare me and was really pretty normal, only for me to wake up and see a CLOWN at the end of my bed and begin laughing at a deafening volume. I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared after waking up. I also had times where sleep paralysis wasn’t entirely bad, like one time, when I was really young, I remember a statue of Superman that started talking to me, only for me to wake up. To be honest, sleep paralysis is rare, but whenever it does happen, it’s a memory that will stick with you.

    I think I just experienced sleep paralysis. I woke up without being able to move or open my eyes, yet I could still see. I felt as though my chest went numb. I couldn’t breathe, yet was not panicking. Then, I’d heard my Dad speaking to me, but it was extremely hushed, like he was taking very softly through a pillow. Then, I’d descended into a fairly average dream. Then I woke up for real. Now I’m reading stories about sleep paralysis demons, & now I’m going to be constantly muttering “In the name of Jesus Christ, begone with you!” as I fall asleep.

    Everybody Gangsta till the human figure in your room starts moving and you can't move any part of your body except close your eyes. So you proceed to close your eyes then open them a few seconds later and it's still there and then you're able to move your body again but the human figure still is there so you scream and your dad comes in 15.39 seconds later because he's panicking and when he comes in he turned the light on and asks "WHAT HAPPENED!" looking horrified and you explain what happend. Then your dad understands and invites you to sleep on the couches with Him ( not in the same couch). So then whilst you're on your phone because you couldnt sleep after that, Occasionally you would peer into the hallway where your siblings toy is at and the reflection of something else on the wall makes it seem like another human figure. You proceed to place your phone down and try an sleep but that figure keeps making you open your eyes to see if it moved. Then after starring at it once for about 10 seconds you're unable to move your body again and the figure comes alive and walks towards you all you remember is closing your eyes....

    I think I just experienced my first sleep paralysis. I sleep on my side with my head right next to my door. I sort of felt like I just woke up and I vaguely saw the door open with next to no sound, then I heard small fast footstep like sounds as what seemed like a small human silhouette entered my room and quickly passed right by me. 2-3 seconds of nothing happening passed by and then I felt heavy vibrations and heard humming and scratching sounds accompanied with a panic like fear. I then wake up almost 2 hours earlier to when I usually would.
    In total, it felt like it lasted 20 seconds at most so it was a very short experience and I’m not entirely sure if I was truly paralyzed or if I was just too afraid to try and move
