> I suffer from sleep paralysis all the time too, with hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations. I'm not on any ad's and it's been happening to me since I was a kid. I'm waiting to have a sleep assessment done (MSLT) It can be quite scary at times.
I can understand the fear -- those hallucinations are a component of natural sleep in man and have been recorded for centuries. When I took remeron and had them first I feared them but then mostly I found it completely fascinating to literally see the last "frame" of my dream projected on the ceiling. The mind is a puzzle.
When one struggles with sleep paralysis however they become a more fearful element of the sleep to wake cycle then when one lets go and either awakens (most likely) or falls back to sleep. The position in which one sleeps affects them too, I believe sleep paralysis is more possible sleeping face down but I dont remember.
