      What are good ways of coming out of sleep paralysis?

      So i'm pretty buzzing at the moment - I had one lucid dream over two years ago and nothing since - well since recently that is.

      The last 4 days I've been experiencing sleep paralysis...

      Let me just take a moment to embellish on my situation in the hope it might help someone else. I had 1 x 15 min DILD over 2 years ago - I practice self awareness, reality check a lot, keep a dream journal (although not lately) and LD'ing wasn't happening for me. A few days ago (on this site) I read a post where somebody wrote about FILD. Over the last four nights I've used FILD when going to sleep and I've added it to my WBTB routine. Each night I've woke up in sleep paralysis several times.

      So i've read a lot about sleep paralysis, I'm not scared of it and approach it from an angle where I kind of enjoy it and smile about it to some extent. It's still pretty scary - but also pretty funny. The first time it happened I felt some hands around my throat, then I felt somebody slide on top of me and felt their weight pushing down on me - I was sleeping with my mouth open and they started rapping their finger across my teeth - that woke me... damn I'll be more prepared next time - I actually now imagine the person sliding on top of me is just after a hug, that makes me feel better about it.

      So anyway, last night i'm in SP and I say to this person that's "hugging" me - do you want to go LD'ing with me (i read about someone else using this method), and sure enough we kind of rolled into a LD - but it was dark - I was in my bedroom (where I went to sleep), I asked for clarity, light, but it didn't much improve - maybe I should have gone over to the light switch and turned it on...

      The question is more about SP however. It feels like another person is with me - Now is that just because that's what I believe it to be? For example If i thought to myself the sleep paralysis sensations were just the way my body reacts to SP, like a side effect, instead of a person - then there wouldn't be another person there?

      I suppose i'm wondering how people exit SP too. When i exited into a LD last night, although it was dark there was another person there.

      Hope this makes sense.
