sleep paralysis every single time i try to fall asleep during the day?
hi reddit! i’ve been experiencing sleep paralysis every single time i try to take a nap for the past six-ish months or so. i’ve had sleep paralysis a couple of times before then, so i know what it feels like. whenever i take a nap, i lay down and close my eyes, and i feel like im sinking into the bed, i can’t move, and im panicking. a way that i KNOW this is sleep paralysis is because my hands go tingly, which happens a lot during actual sleep paralysis during the night time for me, usually due to hyperventilating. normally though, i can easily move to snap myself out of this state, which doesn’t make sense to me. and the fact it only happens during the day. i’m wondering what this could be. it’s really strange and stressful.
