If you suffer from sleep paralysis and have any tips/tricks for how to deal with this, please share. I haven't been sleeping more than three hours or so for a couple of weeks now, and I know that this is causing me to experience sleep paralysis more frequently. I wake up and just can't seem to go back to sleep. I almost always have sleep paralysis when I take a nap, dang it, so naps are out of the question. I also have cycles of nightmares and, unfortunately, I'm in one of those now, too. That makes the sleep paralysis really fun! Any advice appreciated!!
