Sleep paralysis is scary. I haven't had it in 30 years, but I remember how shocking it was the first time. Curiously, in my case I also remember distinctly giving up and thinking "well alright, guess I'm going to die, wow" and being calm about it. Then the paralysis wore off.

I have sleep paralysis every night when I try going to sleep, and in the mornings when I try to wake up.

Normally a few times in a row. I don’t sleep much because of it.

Wow, that sucks fiercely. I can't imagine dealing with that on a regular basis. Every night! I wouldn't sleep much either. Damn.

> I don’t sleep much because of it.

Insomnia and sleep deprivation are associated with increased risk of sleep paralysis...
