Question

How do you get out of sleep paralysis?

Answer 1

When you have sleep paralysis there's nothing you can do to get out of sleep paralysis any faster.

Just remain calm and within a few minutes to 5 to 10 minutes at most your body should automatically get out of sleep paralysis.

You'll be unable to move or do anything and may not be able to speak until the sleep paralysis is over but it should go away on it's own.

The most common trigger for sleep paralysis is sleep deprivation or lack of sleep.

Other causes and triggers of sleep paralysis are some medications, sleeping on your back, changing sleep schedule and even sleep disorders such as narcolepsy can trigger sleep paralysis.

Sleep Paralysis will not hurt you and is not harmful to you.

Sleep Paralysis can be scary and frightening to someone who has never experienced it and has suddenly experienced it.

Although sleep paralysis that occurs too often can be linked to a sleep disorder known as narcolepsy.

If you do experience sleep paralysis more than once or it happens too often then you should let your doctor know because you may have a sleep disorder.

But sleep paralysis itself is not harmful.

The sleep paralysis is just a temporary issue where your body is paralyzed and unable to move and you may not be able to talk for a few minutes or so.

The sleep paralysis should go away on it's own within a few minutes to 5 to 10 minutes at most.

I had sleep paralysis and I was unable to move for 5 minutes and it scared me at first but after I told my doctor about it he said it was nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

Sleep Paralysis seems scary and can be scary but Sleep Paralysis cannot hurt you as it's not harmful.

Sleep Paralysis usually goes away within 5 to 10 minutes or less.

All you can do is wait it out and then the Sleep Paralysis will go away.

Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move.

It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep.

During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes.

Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking.

One of the major causes of sleep paralysis is sleep deprivation, or a lack of sleep.

A changing sleep schedule, sleeping on your back, the use of certain medications, stress, and other sleep-related problems, such as narcolepsy, may also play a role.

The reason why sleep paralysis is so scary is not just because you will suddenly become alert but realize that you are, in fact, unable to move a muscle or utter a sound, but also because this experience is often as in the case above accompanied by terrifying hallucinations.
