So last night I had the absolute horror show of a sleep paralysis episode TWICE. Woke up into one, shouted myself awake, calmed my breathing down, went "well that sucked" as I went to get comfy... and slid right back into a second episode. Pretty much watched it happen.
Sleep paralysis was bad enough on its own but I have now felt the moment my limbs stop being my own and let me tell you, every story you come across about possession? Being trapped in your body unable to do anything except watch The Horrors? Doesn't even come close. Feeling that numbeness and disconnect settle in was one of the most horrific things that I have experienced. I didn't even need the sleep paralysis demons, just that one feeling was enough.
Anyway guess who is now too afraid to sleep
