In the past, I've also suffered from sleep paralysis, so it's interesting that the two are possibly linked.

- knz 10y agoI used to experience sleep paralysis as a teenager and it was terrifying until I worked out how to end it (stay calm and focus on wiggling a toe). It always left me wondering how many stories about alien abduction etc were related to sleep paralysis. I read once that a feeling of being watched was common with sleep paralysis.

I knew about sleep paralysis before I first experienced, so it didn't really concern me (as soon as I realised I was awake but unable to move, I knew what it was and roughly what to expect), but glancing over to my doorway and seeing a vague silhouette just standing there watching me is somewhat disconcerting nonetheless.
