After a while, I recognized that "it" was happening and just accepted that I couldn't move until it was over. The worst part is trying to force yourself to move and you can't. I just lay there hoping something will wake my muscles. If I wake up and don't force myself to move around, I could fall back to sleep and get stuck in the paralysis, so I keep myself from sleeping after an episode.
The hallucinations don't always happen to me, but I swear I see people and hear voices when there is nobody there. I try to force myself to fall out of bed (rock back and forth) and usually the fall can wake me up. I mean, I'm cool with escaping the paralysis after all this time, but I wanted to know if there was a way to stop them or reduce them from occurring. Yea, it happened recently so this is why I'm asking all of a sudden
