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

I used to get them at times too, but only when laying on my back. I’m a permanent side sleeper now because of it. Give it a try
It only happens when I lie on my left side, weird....
I remember it having something to do with the stomach acid as to whether or not it's a nightmare type of dream or a pleasant one.
It never happens on my back or right side.
I have troubles in laying on my left side also, I always thought this could have to do with the heart being uncomfortable
When you are on your right side, you should be better oxygenated, because your right lung has more surface area and gravity is helping the blood flow, while there is less pressure on the heart. But there are other factors, like how much food is in your stomach, or gas. Another thing could be a kink in your neck that causes pressure on the big blood vessels in the neck.
