Could this be a sign of not having enough physical activity during the day? What other reasons would this happen?

It seems to be one of my only boundaries keeping me from getting another LD.
Sleep paralysis is a state, when you dont feel your body completely. Maybe you are just in a deep relaxation state and there is something what stops you from entering full paralysis state.

Even if you were in sleep paralysis, there is one next thing you have to achieve and that is trance state. State of collapsing into yourself.

When I am too awake to fall asleep. I do something mentally tiring to get my mind into state of partial trance. Something like visualization exercises.
