I can't sleep. I'm afraid I am going to have one of these things that I have been reading about online. It's having hallucenations while having sleep paralysis and they feel like the only way to escape is to die. :( I'm so scared I might get one.

By the way, I have never had these. I've read about them, so now I am scared to get them.

there is a saying we go by here at my work (trauma icu). believe nothing that you hear and half of what you see.
chances of you getting that are highly doubtful.
Sleep paralysis is most often associated with narcolepsy, a neurological condition in which the person has uncontrollable naps. However, there are many people who experience sleep paralysis without having signs of narcolepsy. Sometimes it runs in families. There is no known explanation why some people experience this paralysis. It is not harmful, although most people report feeling very afraid because they do not know what is happening, and within minutes they gradually or abruptly are able to move again; the episode is often terminated by a sound or a touch on the body.
In some cases, when hypnogogic hallucinations are present, people feel that someone is in the room with them, some experience the feeling that someone or something is sitting on their chest and they feel impending death and suffocation. That has been called the “Hag Phenomena” and has been happening to people over the centuries. These things cause people much anxiety and terror, but there is no physical harm
hopefully i've made you feel better about this. if you are still having trouble sleeping-take some tylenol pm or benadryl 1-2 tabs of the 25mg tablets. they are not habit forming and will help you get the sleep you need.

I have sleep problems and one thing I know well is the more you worry and fret over something and you become so stressed out about it which makes it harder to sleep, you will hallucenate or have dreams about it and confuse it for being awake. You need to get some sleep and stop stressing out on this thing.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful
for getting sleep.
