Sleep paralysis is natural. When you dream, your body disables itself as a safety mechanism. It's nothing to be afraid of. If you wake up and cannot move, do not panic. If you close your eyes, you will fall back to sleep very quickly. The best things can happen in your wildest dreams, so why be afraid?

Some also think sleep paralysis may happen before astral projection (leaving your body). This is also a natural occurance and in fact, this might be a sign that you are gifted.

Answer 5

Maybe you should go for a sleep study

Answer 6

Can you get some sort of physiological monitor? My kids were preemies and they had a heart-lung monitor. If they're hearts stopped beating, the monitor sounded an alarm. It alerted us as well as shocked their hearts back into beating or their lungs back into breathing.

The heart-lung monitor strapped around the chest. I do not know if it is used with adult or teen patients. My son also had a pulse oximeter in the hospital. It has a red light with a bandaid that straps onto a finger or toe. If he stopped breathing or his saturation of oxygen got low, it sounded an alarm. It was made by Massimo. I do not know if they can be purchased for home use but we seriously considered getting one.
