I know you're not asking me but as someone who had terrible sleep paralysis episodes for years it may interest you that it went away overnight completely after moving my bed to the other side of the room and facing another direction. Could be coincidence but its worth considering. This was completely unexpected as I moved it for practical reasons so there is no expectation of placebo

Thank you. I appreciate it.

That's interesting about facing the other direction. Last episode I had I thought something was coming up the stairs to me. When I turned over and faced the other way, it stopped it. After I faced the other way, I fully awoke and analyzed the situation and realized nothing was there and that it was impossible for anything to be there.

But there have been times in the past where I haven't been able to move at all.

I,m not sure, it could be just physiological but there could be more to it. I had it a few times briefly many years ago but it would break quickly and I would wake up.

It is better to sleep with the head facing either east or south, something about the earths magnetic currents.

Been happening less to me recently. But the last time it happened was the 1st time I was able to move and face the other way. Never heard about the magnetic currents but I'm going to look into that. Thank you.
