I have a friend who had this problem since childhood, here's what he did...
"When they came in, he opened the Bible to the eighteenth chapter of Matthew where Jesus gives his followers the authority to cast out unclean spirits. (Mark 16:17-18) He read the passage aloud and then commanded that they leave. And they left.
How to bless the house or room... there are many ways to do this, smudging, etc, but the best way is the way which works with your beliefs. I would command the evil spirits to leave, then give the place a thorough cleaning, clearing clutter, removing items with negative associations, etc., and while doing this, go over appropriate Bible verses aloud. Then, after cleaning, again command the evil spirits to leave (in case any were "hiding" in the items you distrubed while cleaning). finally, place reminders (such as a cross or written scripture( at your doors and windows that your place is clean and holy and off limits to unclean spirits. And keep it clean and holy.
2. These spirits are like vermin, attracted to negative emotions and energy. Like physical vermin, you don't literally "invite" them in, any more than you "invite" rats or roaches. But the negative energy that they feed on "invites" them just like leaving crumbs around the place "invites" rats and roaches.

Hi Nik.
I think the key thing here is that you say this has been happening since you were a child - i.e. over a period of years.
OK, for me this makes it seem unlikely that what you are experiencing is attack by spirits. Why would they be so persistent for so long?
First things first. You have to rule out the most likely cause, and that is sleep paralysis. This happens when your mind & body get slightly out of sync, and you remain partly awake during your dreams (I have had this myself, and I know how strongly disturbing it can be). If it IS sleep paralysis, then that's good news, because there are some quick steps you can take towards fixing it.
Do you always sleep in the same position, e.g on your back, on a particular side etc? Try changing your sleep posture, and see if this affects it. If it does affect it, that suggests your problem is not spirit attack. (You'll have to do this properly, i.e. do a full week lying in a particular new position, to really find out if it will work.)
Do you take any sleep-related medication, or any other medication that might be affecting your sleep sync? Again this would be an easy answer, and so you would want to rule it out completely before even suggesting that the cause is spirits.
OK, you only need to even read on if you have tried all the normal sensible steps to rule out the above (just do a web search for "sleep paralysis" for more information).
Right, if the unlikely happened, and it DID turn out that these were attacks by entities on the astral or spiritual plane, the only way I can see it having continued for years, is if they have not only been "invited in" but are continuing to be "invited in". Now that is REALLY not as sinister as it sounds, please don't take your ideas about this issue from fictional horror movies. It's simply that our own belief systems can attract this type of attack.
Do you come from a family or religious background where a lot of stress is laid on "evil spirits", "the devil", "battle between good and evil" etc? If so, that is where I'd look for the cause of this particular situation. Remember, the sort of entities we are talking about are NOT the same as physical human beings, they are attracted by people whose beliefs can feed them and give them "more reality". The more real you make them - quite literally - the more real they will become.
If you've ruled out the best and easiest solutions (lying in a different posture, sorting out any medication allergies etc) then I would try the *opposite* approach from what you've been using. When you sleep with your Bible as protection, the message you are giving out is "I am afraid of you, and I believe you are real." As you can imagine, this is the opposite message to what you want to be sending.
Put your Bible safely in your locker. Write a simple note that expresses a personal confidence over the problem (example - "I, from this day on, refuse to feed your reality with my belief. From this day you are nothing in my presence. You pass like powerless shadows.") Fold this paper up and place it confidently and deliberately under your pillow. This gesture of strong intent will tell them - and importantly yourself - that your reality and strength is the greater.
Repeat this process every night (writing out the note by hand each time) and I'm confident you can take control of the situation.

Are you a born again believer? Were your parents involved in occultish things when you were little, or even before you were born? Are you connected with a church that believes in tongues?There are a number of things that would help to know in dealing with this. Anyway apart from all that the basics is the same.
At some time in your life, or parents lives, you or they were probably involved in some type of occultish practice. Ouija boards, tea leave reading, hypotism, or even "speaking in tongues" also opens you up to demons. You would be amazed how much trouble pentacostals have with demons. Somewhere you have had contact and demons get access to you that way. Those things need to be confessed as sins before God, and prayer for deliverance made. Sometimes people who have problems like this can't pray when they try to and it might help to have another solid Christian to pray until you can, then confess it, and ask God to take it away. Do not try to rebuke it yourself, it has no reason to fear you, ask God to rebuke it. I know it is a terrfying thing and I trust God will help you to get deliverance. There is no theatrics to the real thing, just prayer.

Perhaps the fact that it's been going on since you were a child should be a clue to you that it has nothing to do with your dorm, your room-mates, your bible, or anything other than what's in your own mind...
You should seek help from a medical doctor, who can diagnose what's physically wrong with you, and possibly prescribe some medication that will give you relief. And a good step in the right direction would be to realize that this is going on inside your brain, not coming from "bad spirits" (since there's no such thing). After all these years I would have thought you'd realize that since praying and sleeping with a bible haven't stopped the problem, that this isn't a "spiritual" thing...
Please, go get help from MEDICAL SCIENCE, and leave superstition behind...

Exorcism/Cleansing Spell for a Home:
Take a large bowl of salt and sprinkle a pinch or two over the exterior doorways and windowsills of your home. Make certain you get each and every one.
Choose the room that has the strongest negative feel to it. Light a white candle.
In a large fire proof bowl combine the following:
1 tablespoon powdered garlic,1 tablespoon peppermint, 1 tablespoon ground clove, 1 tablespoon dried/powdered thistle, handful or two of sweetgrass, sage or dried oak leaves
Carefully light the mixture so that it smolders, giving off an aromatic smoke. Leaving the candle lit, carry the bowl in to each room and repeat the following:
In the name of “insert whatever name in accordance to your belief system” I bid thee part.
I consecrate and clear this space.
Let nothing but joy linger here.
When you have done each room, return to the first, set the bowl beside the candle and wait for the remaining mixture to burn out. Take the ash outside and sprinkle it over the grass/flowerbed/etc (Don't just throw it away. Honor the gift and it's source)

This is where Faith and Religion Differ you can do all kinds of Ritual's and sleep with your Bible for a life time but the Presents of the Holy Spirit is now & always has been our only protection from those Spirits that torment us,. in my case the verse in the Bible that says " Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world", is what my Faith is in Pray God will show you the true meaning of Faith is Confidence, Confidence in God and His Son Jesus and By his name you will cast off those Spirits not welcome. Bless you

Your situation is probably worse now because your roomates have ghosts too. Get some holy water. I mean actual water from the Ganges river you can get on krishnaculture. then chant Gods name all the time. Also if you do any intoxication or eat meat it puts holes in your aura which brings them in. Most people are haunted but they are too covered by illusion to even know it. You are just more aware. Also take a bath and brush teeth before bed. Sprinkle holy water in each corner of room and on self and bed. ring bell if you can at the same time. Also burn incense (frankincense) is the best for getting rid of them.

They are NOT spirits. It's called sleep paralysis. The very fact that you have such strong beliefs in spirits is part of the proof: you're VERY attached to these beliefs and, therefore, when your mind experiences sleep paralysis it creates what seems to be very real demons for it. Please, this is nothing to be afraid of -- the rituals can work (because you believe the reality of the spirits/demons your mind is creating) but it might be helpful to consider that this is simply a mechanism of our minds.

This isn't Dracula. You don't need to use a cross or a Bible like a talisman to chase away evil spirits.
I think you need to take authority over the evil spirits, and if you don't think you can, find someone you can, like a mature believer or a pastor. Say, "Evil spirits, I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ my Savior. Go wherever he sends you!" Then say, "Dear Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please protect me and surround me with your grace. May your Holy Spirit be with me now and forever."
You don't have to use those exact words, but the gist of the message should be there.
Look up those Bible verses that talk about God's protection. In fact, I'll start you off:
Psalm 5 (NIV)
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=protection&x=10&y=12
http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?search=protect&version1=31&searchtype=all&limit=none&wholewordsonly=no
For better effect, share your fears with another believer and pray together with him/her. Together take authority over the demons.
There's a Bible quote that says something like "One of you will chase a thousand; two of you will chase ten thousand," but I can't find it.
If after all this you feel the demons still bothering you, ignore them. Under this current dispensation of the invasion of the Kingdom of God on earth, I believe demons have no more power over people than what people allow.
You can also use visualization. Imagine yourself, with the help of God, fighting and defeating them and chasing them away. "Put on the full armor of God."
