CSK Fan Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 you just pray it never happens before an important morning... like before an exam or an interview.. :haha:.. imagine one stuck in bed looking at the clock on the wall and thinking "Oh S H I T" Dude, it never ever lasts for more than a minute or two, though it feels lounger to the person
Old guy Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Dude' date=' it never ever lasts for more than a minute or two, though it feels lounger to the person[/quote'] actually for person it can last for hours and can happen very frequently .. but its cos of some problem its not normal yes if u dont have that problem (sorry i forgot name u can google about it ) it does not lasts for long and is not that scary if u can relax.. and tackle it calmly
nikred Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Coming to thinking about it, I always have dreams where I am struggling to move and feeling absolutely helpless. Its like I am in slow-mo mode but then again I am fully asleep.
master22 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 This has happened to me three or four times in the past couple of years but had never experienced before that.Got damn scared the first time it happened,it was like you are trying to get up from bed but u cant,you are trying to move your hands but you cant.It felt like someone is forcing you down but the good thing is that this takes place for around 10 seconds only.

How do you keep track of the time really ? .. for me it always seems a long time. But under controlled conditions (someone with a stopwatch and brain activity monitoring) apparently they've witnessed this happening only for 15-25 minutes in most cases.

I always felt like it happens very quickly.Its just that my eyes are open and that i cant move my muscles for a very brief period of time and after that its all normal.

Are you sure about the 15-25 minutes or longer? Links?
hari504504 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Are you sure about the 15-25 minutes or longer? Links? if it is longer then its not just sleep paralysis anymore.. its a more serious condition. Was veiwing a docu~ on youtube, let me see if i can retrace my steps to get to that video

hari504504 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 I don't login to youtube , Anyways found better content explaining it on google. http://www.medlink.com/medlinkcontent.asp The duration seems to be shorter than what I had quoted. Sleep paralysis is transient, usually lasting only 1 to several minutes (average duration of episodes 4 minutes) (Ohaeri et al 2004), and disappears either spontaneously or on external stimulation, especially by simple touch or movement induced by another person. Some patients note that repeated efforts to move the body or make vigorous eye movements may help to abort a paralytic episode.
The Dark Horse Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 One of my friends was convinced that it was a ghost until i wiki'ed him this. Not sure if he's totally convicted. He always avoids being alone after that:P
