Go To Sleep

Just returned from a couple of weeks break so just a short post today.

When someone experiences a high degree of disturbance from their sleep paralysis, or waking paralysis as it is sometimes called, there is often a tendency to avoid sleep. You will avoid sleeping because you don't want to have the experience again. If you do this this you only increase the likely hood of its occurrence. You are more likely to re-experience sleep paralysis if you are suffering from lack of sleep.

It can be tough if you've had a busy day and you've got go be up early again the next day and your night is disturbed by a unwanted paralysis episode. When you come out of it you will most likely feel a heavy tiredness, a sluggishness. Get up, raid the fridge or make yourself a drink maybe read for 20 minutes. That way when you return to bed you will sleep more soundly without a re-occurrence of the sleep paralysis.

Don't stay up all night, it's easy to think like that but it's a downward spiral if you begin to avoid sleeping and one which can cause a multitude of problems mostly degrading your mental health which will have a knock on affect in other areas.

So go to bed and sleep well.
