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

done.
I've had it a few times and it can be quite unnerving.. I've found that if you wriggle your fingers first (and keep them moving), then progressively build that movement up your arm, it helps to break the paralysis - hope that helps.
Ok that’s a great tip, thank you
I second nermal. It’s common to have feelings of darkness/demonic related to sleep paralysis because of how it affects the brain. Moving a finger or toe helps “wake up” the part of the brain that differentiates between reality and dream.
I'm definitely going to try to remember this next time it happens. hopefully its not anytime soon
