How to get out from sleep paralysis, press nose until can't

[juancarlosreyesp]

Hi,

I found a way to get out from sleep paralysis, this is pressing your nose until you can't breath, and if you can't move, stop breathing until you can't and your body force you to breath. then try to turn on the light from your lamp, if it don't turn on the light, repeat, until you do.

some years ago I have a period I have sleep paralysis almost daily for several months.

I don't know about you, but when I have sleep paralysis I can't move my arms.
That's why I wiggle my toes when I'm in sp, if I'm lucid enough to do it.

My sleep paralysis was first I can't move then I stop breathing but I could press my nose, my body was real, I tried to turn on light if it didn't turn on I pressed my nose until I can breath again. Finally I have a notorious pain in my neck, the curious is after I press my nose is like I woke up and then I changed of scenario, the last was as where i live but the previous not.
And this hint was very very helpful to me.

Hi there -

:idea: There is a simpler way to get out of sleep paralysis (better than toes - for me)... gather some energy/willpower and take in a quick breath of air.
(This sounds a bit like your breathing suppression, but easier and less stressful)

I used to get sleep paralysis fairly often some 15-20 years ago (teenage). I would even get my limbs out of the bed, only to suddenly find that I hadn't moved at all. It was quite distressing. Arms and legs are just dead to real inquiry (although my 'fake' ones were happily responsive). I think I recall that you can feel your toe tips and fingertips better and they can be sluggishly responsive (I note the MAP paragraph on waking paralysis and wiggling toes)...

... but I discovered that you do have one muscular activity that remains healthily under your control... breathing. So I used to get ready and then take a sudden strong breath in. The fresh air rushing up your nose, the movement of your chest, and the oxygen to your brain (OK the last one is a guess!) all jolted me out of the waking 'stuck' trance every time. I kinda miss it now.

Hope this helps anyone reading. :D
