this isnt him, i didnt draw this
but when i was.. oh i dont know, 10? 11-ish, I had some serious sleep paralysis
It was the same thing every time, and it lasted for a year or so
my coping mechanism was to name him and give him life so I wasn't so scared
so I named him Mr. Smiles. He has a character now, and I don't get paralysis often anymore

[Storm The Tiny Hooman ~hiatus~]

He scares me dude

it's strangely comforting

Glad this hasn't been happening anymore.
My sister told me this happened to her often too. I like th pfp btw.

Sleeping paralysis doesn't have to do anythig with ghosts. But I'm sure if it hasn't been happening then you may be better now. I wish. <3

Sleeping paralysis? Or bad postures?
Meanwhile you must regulate those attacks it may hurt you in future if you kept ignoring them.

Try to meditate. Attend a yoga class. Really helpful!<3

[Storm The Tiny Hooman ~hiatus~]

Sleep paralysis. I had to always put lights on so I can sleep. When I get them it gets right up in my face and just stays there. I can't move and I can barely scream when it happens so it turns to a panic attack

[Rouh || رُوح]

Sorry for that really. my sister had a similar experience and that helped. Stay away of stress!

I must put everysingle photoelectron off. Either that or I may not sleep. 🙂

[Storm The Tiny Hooman ~hiatus~]

I actually need sleeping meds as I will not sleep without them. We tried melatonin but it didn't work. I actually take Trazadone rn which is like a sedative so I can sleep but I am having trouble falling asleep again

I will also constantly have nightmares causing me to have night terrors

I just have read a section on a med book. (Specifies in fibromyalgiaand choronic disease). They tell that sleeping meds are not pretty helpful were your body will get use to it sooner or later. It will not help sleeping but will also leave you with bad side effects. Try to cut them off.

I will not sleep and have constant nightmares. Insomnia for the most part

[Rouh || رُوح]

It says you must stick to a healthy sleeping routine as a treatment. And if necessary just use a paracetamol painkiller nothing more. Major painkillers are a backfired treatment. I guess you were going to attend gym?it says it's pretty helpful that you exhaust yourself (in a good mild way) low impact dance and aerobic exercise. Streaches helps alot. And yoga.

All of this may gets you a better peaceful sleep.

Asher, I have a suggestion:

Tart Cherries, whether juiced, dried, etc. They have been proven in helping your body produce melatonin and tryptophan, which basically means it improves your sleep, the energy you get from the sleep, and makes it easier to fall asleep.
They are also high in nutrients, aids in your muscle growth and your physical strength, makes your brain function better and improves your brain health, improves your immune system.
It may also prevent certain cancers, reduce pain from nerve damage, blood-pressure reduction, and not only that? But it reduces your chances for arthritis, gout and other bone ailments.

another note on the sleeping side of it, tart cherries are NOT a supplement, so your body technically can't "get used to it"
instead they trigger a response in you and help your body produce melatonin.

I drink some tart cherry juice before bed, and honestly, i find my sleeps really rich
I got 6 hours of sleep last night (although I must say my ability to function on 30 minutes of sleep is just short of incredible) but i am incredibly energized and honestly happy! My usual 8-10 hours leaves me groggy and grumpy when I wake up, so these short but enriching sleeps are a breath of fresh air.

My mom is super whole-foods, healthy, and I'm fine with that!
Ginger helps with pain too, as well as dark chocolate. (Aids in your producing of Endorphins, which are your body's painkillers)

fibromyalgia is your pain issues, right?
Try some dark leafy greens, spinach, kale, stuff that's high in magnesium (which is also good for pain reduction)
Lots of nuts/seeds are good for this too, almonds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds
Also beans and avocado! Healthy fats, Magnesium rich foods, etc.
Try to avoid to oily and processed stuff, although I'm sure you already know this

Oh! That's a great suggestion. I will try it too. Yes! long sleeping periods got me living like cloth when I woke like I'm still yawning. Wth i was doing then?
Blessings on you boy! Sounds great that you're feeling good. Wish it last forever. <3

Nah, you're fine. As someone with insomnia it was actually helpful for me even though you were talking to Asher.

[Storm The Tiny Hooman ~hiatus~]

What made me not sleep was constant nightmares so I would force myself to stay awake so I wouldn't. I would have night terrors and have the cops called or freak my family out

Thats awesome! I honestly address anyone with these issues, even if it seems i'm talking to one person
if you ever need/have any questions on something to help with aches, sleep, dreams etc, I'm always here!

again, magnesium (whole, dark green leafy vegetables)
it helps with pain, sleep/dreams (regulates your brain activity, immune system issues and so so much more!
If trying this out for a while doesn't help, try meditating, thinking of positive things, reading calm books or listening to calm music. Try and reduce the amount of activity you feed into your brain so your brain doesn't think it's still daytime
During the day, try to stay out of your bed when relaxing, sit in a beanbag or on the couch or somewhere else so that you don't start associating your bed with activity. It'll be hard to sleep then as well

[Storm The Tiny Hooman ~hiatus~]

Meditation causes stress for me. I am barely ever in my room tbh

You're impossibly making me impressive. Your informations are finely perfect. I tried some they helped and other are new to me really bless you.

Well, my question now, is how do you meditate? What do you do when meditating?

Nope I don't watch horror movies. Its constant and is starting to happen again. Thats why I take sleeping meds because I don't get them with that and I can sleep

[Rouh || رُوح]

YW! She is a great mother as well. Bless her of raising you.

[Rouh || رُوح]

Asher i think you must reduce the light too when sleeping. Your body isn't getting that you should sleep. The melatonin isn't produced. So your brain will eventually gives you unstable sleep.

I'm really sorry. Try to do those things below. Calm yourself down as much as you could. try to breath and get hydrated as much as you could. Do that and see the results.

[Storm The Tiny Hooman ~hiatus~]

Happens even in dark but I will start hallucinating so I can't sleep
