Welcome to DV!

Another way to break from sleep paralysis is to change your breathing. That's how your body notices you are not sleeping anymore and releases you from it.

On the other hand, I agree with previous posts, that you could explore the opportunities SP offers to you, and that's lucid dreaming. You can read about SP in tutorials about WILD type of lucid dreams, here in DV Wiki. Please post any questions you have. Happy dreams
