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
Mine stays away if I have something playing on the TV (seems to be both light and sound)
The TV occasionally turns off because the thing I am playing errors out and like clockwork, the "demons" come.
Although I say that, I haven't been "visited" in a couple of years. I used to have almost an attack a night where the dream would essentially be a trap - stuck in a car, no car door or some other almost freddy kruegeresque scenario where I realise I can't escape, bam paralysis attack.
If I was a religious person, I'd have been on my knees praying in church every day because that experience is utterly evil.
I'll tell you guys a funny story and I only tell you this from pure impartiality. I have not made anything of it, but this is just truly what happened.
Once, I decided not to try to run from the thing/possession/etc. I just stopped and tried to fight. The rebuttal was instant and absolutely brutal. It basically just did the equivalent of snapping its finger and I was filled with an all encompassing terror so strong that I quite honestly could not have believed it was possible to feel that, so intensely. It's truly laughable how monumental it was.
Needless to say, I have never chosen to stand my ground, since
