As far as swallowing, I can go for at least an hour without swallowing. Sometimes I'll swallow with no concious thought, and feel like I've somehow just screwed myself up... But does it actually matter?

Hi Abra The swallow reflex can be troublesome if you let it get to that point.

Thanks Clairity

My problem is in controlling the wave that you speak of... if I do wbtb I can feel that wave almost everytime I wake up and go back to sleep and usually in a matter of 4-5 seconds. It also has a sound like my ears are about to pop or something is closing in on me. The only problem I have is that I'm aware of the wave and I move my eyes slightly taking me to a higher level of consciousness. Eventually I just end up passing out without 'staying up'


what can I do to embrace the sleep paralysis?

By doing just that, "embracing it". Don't move your eyes.

WOAH! Great post! This covers basically all the questions iv seen about this! Good work man, il try this again tonight!

I tried this last night, but started to let my mind fall asleep a little, and then right before I was about to pass into full sleep, my body had a huge jolt/twitch, and I ended up really hurting my neck... Then I couldn't get back to sleep for over two hours. Also, for a few seconds after the twitch, I didn't open my eyes, and it felt really tingly, and I felt like I was looking really, really deep into empty space.

wow, that's some muscle twitch...
