Sure, different things work better for different people, and that method is certainly worth a try, as I’ve heard it works for many people with SP. Fighting it tends to just make it worse for me—usually giving me a false awakening after which I often wake up paralysed again, sometimes two or three times. Sometimes it does help to try to regain control of my breathing—a big part of the anxiety for me is being “stuck on auto”. Could be related to sleep apnea, dunno.
