Reminds of the cycle of insomnia - where you are tired because you didn't sleep, so you stress out more about getting to sleep, so you have more trouble sleeping, in a loop. There's a term for it, though I've forgotten it.
It's supposed to be self-limiting (Because the tiredness is supposed to win out and make you sleep), but it doesn't always seem that way.
I'm so glad that I'm hardly ever in that space any more, myself. Never had sleep paralysis, but sleep difficulty of any type is not fun.
