Thread: I'm not sure which?

You should try to do both.You should get into a comfortable position, then lay still and do whatever else the guide says. If you aren't in a comfortable position it will be harder to fall asleep due to your body not being in the same position as if you were sleeping. You wouldn't fall asleep in a comfortable position, would you? You also have to stay still as possible after getting in the comfortable position so that sleep paralysis can set in, you need to be still to become paralyzed, you can't move while paralyzed, so when you move it is only delaying the paralysis. I hope I helped, and good luck!

Thanks. But it seems like, for some reason, I always get too warm when I'm in a comfortable position for too long. If I do get uncomfortable, should I move? or try not to think about it?

You should try to not think about it. It could delay the SP. BTW, I read somewhere that it is OK to swallow! Don't worry about not having to swallow, it shouldn't be a problem.
