Sleep Paralysis when stressed ?

Merry Christmas and All the best for 2015 fellow friends..

Does anyone elese experience this when going through certain stress/Anxiety ?.Mine seems to be worse when im over thinking or cant sleep. Its been happening for years now but its still equally horrifying. I know when its going to happen cause my ears buzz and everything goes quiet. Its like im awake but asleep.  So strange...

Yes happens to me

Hi Stacey, sleep paralysis is when the body is relaxed and the brain is active. This can happen more when your stressed or anxious. It's awful when it's happening, i have had it many times. It's quite common and not harmful. Try to relax before bed, have a milky drink, relaxing bath, read. Don't be on the internet too late or watch telly.Hope this helps.
