Thread: Questions about Sleep Paralysis

1. I hear it's about a minute.

2. I don't know about noises, but if anyone moves you the slightest bit you'll be knocked out of SP.

3. Since you're good at entering SP I guess WILDing would be a better technique then DILD. You can try DILD but WILD usually gives better more vivid dreams.

Thanks. I have another question too.

Whenever I have sleep paralysis, I always notice that my breathing is remarkably slow and shallow, or at least it seems that way to me. Normally during my waking life I'm not a heavy breather, but in SP it feels like I am barely breathing enough to stay alive, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot change it. I'm fully paralyzed and can't make myself take deeper breathes.

That has no potential to be harmful, right? Is that just how I normally breathe during sleep? Does respiration slow down in sleep paralysis?

What about the breathing?

Well your breathing does slow down a bit while sleeping. It's not harmful at all just remember you may be hallucinating not being able to breath, like I said before don't focus on your physical body during SP.
