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

Wow, I'm not the only one who saw a face? That's crazy. It's definitely demonic, but try not to panic. Try to recite in your mind or out loud "Jesus I trust in You" or "Viva Cristo Rey!" (Long live Christ the King!) or something else with Christ's name to chase away the demons. They cannot stand His name.
If your episodes aren't being caused by something physical (heat, cold, food, etc.) then it must be something psychological, or maybe just spiritual. But maybe you have too much on your mind before you go to sleep, too much anxiety, etc. Could also be possible that demons are trying to torment you or attach to you. Hopefully I'm wrong, that is the worst case scenario and isn't very likely, but deepening your faith never hurts.
In the end, don't have fear, Jesus has you in His arms. Find solace and rest there.
I do believe it is demonic. It has been going on for so long, off and on. I think half of me has accepted it as just something that happens occasionally and the other half is still scared of it
Be Not Afraid! Whenever it happens try to speak Jesus' name. He WILL protect you.
