I've woken up others the same way. At some point I learned to recognize sleep paralysis and just wait it out. It's still unpleasant though, I get sensations like needles pricking my skin all over.

(Co)homological methods in data science fall under the umbrella of topological data analysis, which is quite a new approach relative to more standard ones. In particular, persistent (co)homology is the applicable theory here, because it com
