Be Grateful You Can Go To Sleep Normally

Some people sleep walk and this is caused by the body not being paralyzed which is the case normally when you go to sleep, and some people experience body paralysis but are fully awake. For people who struggle with sleep paralysis it is scary for them because they feel trapped in their body and they cannot move, and for people who sleep walk they are afraid to go to sleep because they wake up somewhere else.

^^^Crazy life to live. I don't take my ability to go to sleep peacefully for granted.

Bro made this post to flex his sleep priviledge 

I wish I can sleep peacefully again because it's been over a year since I haven't slept well.

If you are really desperate try pregabaline, clotiazepam, or even 15mg of Mirtazapine every night.

For a month

Try full soberity for 2 years, that might also work.

My older sister use to do it. I use to talk in my sleep. I heard jokes of never let me become President because I'd give away the launch codes in my sleep.

That's nothing - if you want to know about one of the most horrifying diseases ever, google "fatal familial insomnia".

zolpidem is just a short acting benzo no? So not a long term solution. But i’ve tried it, it’s fine

Are you taking antipsychotics?

(because of your name)

I sleepwalked before. It happened when I didn't sleep enough for a long time. Like I slept only 2 hours each for 3 days in a row.

I first noticed it when my sister got home without keys. I asked her how did she get home without keys? She said I pass her the keys when I only remembered I was sleeping. 

The most serious case was when I was crossing the road sleepwalking while outside camping. And realise how did I get here without knowing. I also sleepwalk to get a glass of water as long as the flask and cup is there on the table. If not, I may wake up standing.

But for me, as long as I sleep more than 5 hours each day, sleepwalk won't happen to me.

i get the occasional sleep paralysis. it's scary for a few seconds but then i wake up and everything's fine.

sleep walking seems scarier and potentially more dangerous compared to that. 

oh yea

they’ll stab you at night and blame it on sleep walking

i saw one of those murder mystery cases

also a girl once told me she sleepwalked into her sisters room with a knife or a scissors in her hand, her sister then yelled at her and woke her up

Neither

@Schizophonia Why, you are able to focus?

[Hojo]

@PurpleTree me too. I had it so much i would just watch what was happening. Then i could force myself out of by pushing really hard on my consciousness. I didnt know it was my consciousness at that time but I could do it. If you can push yourself out of sleep paralysis it feels like you are driving down a highway going 100 with all the windows open with the same sound and feeling. When i forced myself out I would wake up and sit up but my body would be in instant sleep mode and I would go back to sleep but within a certain time I would wake back up in sleep paralysis and try again. Kinda like butterfly effect feeling when ashton kutcher changes worlds with the shaky visuals but with the sound of air in a car speeding down the highway.

Have you tried low dose seroquel/sequase for sleep?, it’s not too bad and not as addictive as benzos.

Also look into low dose amisulpride (12.5mg) but that’s not for sleep

yea me too. I had it so much that i learned how to push myself out of it. I did it with concentrating a lot to move the body though and using a lot of force.

one night i had it like 7 times. Always pushed myself out of it and then got back to sleep and woop it happened again.

did you often have the levitation feeling too?

[Hojo]

@PurpleTree  No I didnt feel any levitation but like You I had it like 7 times in one night and I was playing around with it. I saw shadows moving arond and I was home alone but I said I didnt care and I kept going in and out a bunch of times. It was fun but the body felt like it weight a million pounds when I woke up and just went back to sleep. Pretty cool you had that too. We can identify that that is what losing consciousness feels like while conscious.

We can imagine we were god and then something like that happened and we lost conciousness. Like there is a version of ourselves doing infinite creativity and it felt like it had to pass out and then its itn own creation and it cant stop from passing out, its like a being that keeps passing out over and over infinitely and if you dont sleep you go insane and become it.
