So I posted a thread the other day about how I couldn't get to sleep paralysis after months of trying. Well, last night I think I finally got it. I counted down from 100 (I would count after I exhaled) and by the time I reached 0, my arms and legs felt pretty immobilized. It took about another 5-10 minutes after that before my neck felt paralyzed.

I'm pretty sure that was sleep paralysis as my body would get waves of numbness and feeling really heavy for a few seconds. I would feel that every few minutes. However, I didn't have any hallucinations. At one point, I saw a few pretty colors that transformed into a bunch of random shapes that eventually formed a beach bar, but that was only for about a minute.

I tried to WILD, but I had no success as it was at night before I had been asleep. After attempting to WILD for 10 minutes or so, I decided to give up and just go to sleep. It was really weird, though, because no matter how much I tried to just let my mind wander and go to sleep, I always ended up coming back to my body (not to sleep).

I'm not sure if what I had was Sleep Paralysis or why I couldn't go to sleep normally (not trying to WILD). Can anyone offer some advice?
