<p>Thank you for making me aware of sleep paralysis. This brings back scary memories. Both my sister and I had similar experiences when we were teenagers (long time ago!). My sister could describe in gory details of the spirits who had visited her while she slept. I remembered lying in bed unable to move but thinking clearly to myself “play dead so that the ghosts don’t know I am awake…” I never heard voices or felt anything besides the paralysis. I thought I had out-smarted the unwelcome visitors. I was always too afraid to actually peek to see if there was in fact someone or something in the room. I wish I had learned about sleep paralysis sooner!</p>
