I had a really bad episode of sleep paralysis last night and it felt demonic in nature. It happens to me once or twice every year it seems. As darkness starts to settle in for the night, I’m getting scared to go to sleep in a little while. If you’re reading this can you pray for me? Thank you

Does it happen depending on where you sleep? Couch vs bed, etc? What happens during the episode? Do you feel like something is there with you? I’ve had it happen before and it’s not pleasant. It only ever happens on the couch for some reason.
It doesn’t seem to matter where I’m sleeping. I’m not particularly stressed lately either, so if I why it happens. But yes it’s like I will be half awake and half asleep, and I feel like pressure is pushing down on me. When I felt that I kinda got panicked and then I had a quick wave of tingles go over my whole body from my head down to my feet- like the feeling you have when your foot falls asleep. I knew I was having another episode so was like ok just give it a few minutes and it will go away- and it did and I slept fine the rest of the night. But I just get nervous about going to sleep tonight now
when you feel it happen wiggle your toes..after a few times you then become in control and stop it from happening..happened to me when I used to party like a rockstar..it was bad
Ok I will try to remember that next time- thank you
you're welcome..lots of good tips and prayers here nice job frens..ps when I read your stickied post I got goose bumps...it happened to me last night!!! but it wasn't a bad one...and I knew what was happening..do you drink sometimes? thats the common denominator for me..or if I'm tired but I fight it...like last night
I can attest to the wiggling of the toes. I learned that when I was very young when I would often dream of ghosts and scary other-worldly creatures. I knew I was dreaming and I had to force myself to wake up.
I'm definitely going to try it next time
That tingling sensation is your body and spirit connection
