Sleeping problems?

Question

hey! so i just woke up and had another Sleep Paralysis spell and i was checking on here and found out that it happens to a lot of other people. I'm curious to find out what happens to other people PHYSICALLY when this happens. I'm 15 and when it happens to me i can feel a lot of pulsing throughout my body and there's ringing in my ears. When i was younger i could breathe until i woke up and it felt like the bed was shaking! it was REALLY scary! i also had a heart mumor if that means anything. what happens to you?

i meant to say i COULDN'T breathe. oh and i don't do drugs or drink.

also there was a time when i was sitting in on my parents bed and suddenly fell asleep. all of the sudden i saw a huge blob thing (i cant remember what it was) and i couldn't move. so when i finally could move i ran out of the room and was crying hysterically to my mom and i wouldn't go back into their room. my mom didn't see anything and she had me go back to sleep in my room. i was fine afterwards. O_o

I have had that all my life. It has a lot to do with your whole body. I avoid certain things now before bed like M&Ms and aspirin. Now, a very many years later I am having lots of problems sleeping. I am going in, myself; to have a sleep study done to see what's up.

Some of the things you are experiencing are natural. When you sleep, your brain has developed this thing to protect you from harming yourself while you dream. It literally paralyzes you so that you do not thrash around for real while you are having one of those really cool rollercoaster ride kind of dreams. Unfortunately, something else, totally unrelated to your temporarily paralyzed state, wakes you up. Your brain just has not caught up with the rest of what you are doing. That's the reason so many of us wake up in the morning and just can't seem to move just to get out of bed.

The pulsing could be your heart beat and the ringing in your ears can be a whole host of things.

The inability to breathe until one wakes up is what I thought they found was causing SIDS. The problem with SIDS babies is that they would not wake up. You are the one that does and that sudden awakening may be why you do experience all of the other symptoms you mentioned.

The bed may actually be shaking because as part of being paralyzed you will not be able to feel your limbs start to move at fist as the paralysis begins to ware off. I have felt my bed move simply because of my heartbeat rhythm being the right pace to set my mattress to swaying. That happens more than anything else to me today and THAT is weird.

I have had some nurses and doctors ask me how long I have had a heart mummer after they take a listen and I tell them that I have never been diagnosed with one. I don't know now if I have one. My doc says I'm fine.

I know this is not an answer but it's just what I have gone through and I know it can be nerve racking. One of the writers above mentioned you should talk with your doctor about this. I agree. Let me add though, she will try to just blow it of as growing pains or something not serious. Well, sweet heart, you come back at that old doc and tell her it is damn serious. You should be spending one third of your life asleep. If your quality of sleep is substandard, your quality of life is too. You need your rest every day. Here’s to you, getting a good nights sleep.

Best Regards

HI Hun! If I were you I would mention this to your doctor. There is a reason for everything. You could have the beginning of narcolepsy, which causes paralysis. Or there could be another reason. I'd have it checked out, somethings could even effect your health. Good Luck. Hugs! Von

The synthetic gentle from the pc display (or even your cell) can cut down melatonin (the sleep hormone) construction on your frame. Try taking a melatonin suppliment. I take 1mg melatonin on nights that I are not able to sleep and it really works like a appeal! The most effective downfall to taking melatonin is if you're taking it each night time your frame gets used to it and you're going to need to expand how so much you're taking. I attempt to most effective take it now and again. I additionally love sizzling tea containing camomile to aid me calm down. Sleepy Time Tea with honey is uncommon. :)
