Follow-Up:
I too, have 'suffered' from sp for about 13 yrs. now.Here lately it has become a nightly thing for me and is quite scarey too! T he only thing that pulls me out of it is too tell myself to wake up!!!sometimes this works and sometimes is doesnt,I dont feel like I'm suffering from narcolepsy nor am I being abducted by anything, I am not nor have any reason to be depressed,nor am I on any meds.I dont know what it is ,but I know what its like and I take comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one going through it, and most of all WE'RE NOT ALL CRAZY. This is nothing to joke about, its like being in a mental hell that you cant get of and you spend your night fighting to get awake when you should be sleeping!!I feel for anyone who experiences the paralysis part and will keep you on mind and wish you all sweet and peaceful dreams that you can awake from!If anyone has any info or you can relate to the worse kind of sp, I would greatly appreciate it!
