still plauged by night tremors

[Get_Swole]

crazy shit man the worst thing ive had in my sleep is the sleep paralisis thing, where your awake but your body is still in REM sleep so you cant move and it feels like your being killed by a ghost or something. Its freaky as shit too, you try to scream or move but you just dont have the ability. Not as bad as what your going through though man thats nuts. Hope you get it undercontrol before you kill your mother in law, just kidding but seriously hope you get it figured out bro.

Okay bro. I have this too. Here is what happens. You never go into deep wave sleep. Sleep paralysis is actually a good thing and keeps you from moving around and doing thing like when I hit my wife in my sleep. I have seen demons, aliens, attacking animals, you name it ive seen it and it also stops for me on gear. The good news is you aren't alone, the bad news is you are just as screwed up as me. LOL. The hypnotic sleep drugs could help but Im not crazy about them either.

Dnt think thats ur hallucinations bro.....think its more spiritual than nething.....Not to get all 'deep and preachy' into anything but when u 'wake up' ur not actually in REM sleep, in fact ur not actually 'awake' .... they say its ur spirit being 'held down' or 'hagged' and most folks say you should try wiggling ur big toe....i've always been told to think spiritual thoughts and eventually it stops. It's been happenin to me from I was a kid bro....I remember one summer it happened every single night and stopped when they annointed my room with olive oil etc......weird man.....scary as hell as a kid. Try googling it bro....

Ive read on this alot since i started having it happen. I dont buy into the whole ghost, and spiritual nonsense so that explanation wont work for me. I dont mean this to be offensive to anyone that does though. I said it wrong that your brain wakes up from REM but your body persists in it being unable to move. Ive been known to wake up from it happening and smile like that was kinda cool then just go back to sleep.

Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is known as REM atonia. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the body paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully conscious, but unable to move. The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes "after which the individual may experience panic symptoms and the realization that the distorted perceptions were false".[5] As the correlation with REM sleep suggests, the paralysis is not entirely complete; use of EOG traces shows that eye movement can be instigated during such episodes.[6] When there is an absence of narcolepsy, sleep paralysis is referred to as isolated sleep paralysis (ISP).[7] "ISP appears to be far more common and recurrent among people of African descent than among whites or Nigerian Africans",[5] and is often referred to within African communities as "the Devil on your back."[8][9][10]

In addition, the paralysis state may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger.[11] Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.[7] The hallucinatory element to sleep paralysis makes it even more likely that someone will interpret the experience as a dream, since completely fanciful, or dream-like, objects may appear in the room alongside one's normal vision. Some scientists have proposed this condition as an explanation for alien abductions and ghostly encounters.[12] A study by Susan Blackmore and Marcus Cox (the Blackmore-Cox study) of the University of the West of England supports the suggestion that reports of alien abductions are related to sleep paralysis rather than to temporal lobe lability.[13]

^^ no offense taken broham....i jus grew up in a 'sheltered' religious home so thats the explanation i was given.....i dont know about the 'alien' theory people talk about but I do remember one time i was asleep when i swore i was home alone and i literally saw someone come in my room and stand over me, couldnt move etc and then i woke up almost like i was gasping for air, still the only person home and thats the explanation i was given....i was about 10 yrs old at the time.....doesnt happen any more tho...sooo hey neone believe sumthin will happen in 2012?

wtf??? what took you so long to say something??? lol

 

[Crazymank]

ok... so i've been off for 6 days and this has not happened yet. It took about 6 weeks before it started happening again last time.

My wife called me last week from work. She was scared cause some dude killed his wife having these night tremors. I guess he was given medication that would stop the night tremors... but the drugs killed his sex drive. So it was there anniversary and he decided to stop taking them. ended up having an episode and killed his wife.

 

[MrPerfect]

omg r u for real

 

[Crazymank]

yeah... no joke.

If i do short 8 week cycles (on and off) i dont think ill ever have them. its another excuse to use gear.

 

[Crazymank]

had a small one last night. Not really sure what happened it was so short. I just remember waking up and the wife telling me to relax and go back to sleep... so something happened.

 

[Crazymank]

woke up 2 nights ago. Saw people in the room. Started to freak out, wife said "honey your still sleeping".... (this is the part i remember), I said "no... im wide awake, and there are people over there... WTF??" (this is where my wife gets scared).... I sat there watching them, waiting to just beat the f-out of them, Cause i can see them moving, it was just there shadows......

anyways... I calmed down, figured my wife was right and went back to sleep.

well, we are living in my wife's ex husbands house. He did die here.

2 nights ago i saw people walking through the room. I jumped out of bed and chased on of them. Then i saw another one hiding in the closet. So i started yelling at him and trying to pull him out. About this time my wife was freaked out and trying to snap me out of it. She finally convinced me to turn on the light.... So, i did and nothing was there obviously.


Last night i had someone sleeping next to me (other than my wife), She was touching me and kept hogging the pillow... I finally got pissed and said i've had enough of this... and turned the light on. It was our dog...shes a puppy and was sleeping on my pillow.

I have another month to go before i start my cycle. I really hope this doesn't start to happen every night again...

 

[Crazymank]

i had another minor freak out last night, but i dont really remember it. so thats 3 nights in a row.

 

[tatzoo]

I wonder if taking an Ambien would help you get into a deeper sleep?...On the flip side Im sure it would make you harder to wake up if you had a episode...

 

[Crazymank]

its been really bad lately cause i havent been sleeping.

 

[Crazymank]

well, i had one more the other night... Nothing really bad.

I started my cycle yesterday though, so these should be over for now.

 

[MrPerfect]

thats crazy man

i mean ive felt the whole sleep walking thing happen to me... nightmares during the day...

but the only thing that i REMEMBER is getting up a few times and seeing everything side ways. most of the time its was when i was going to eat late at night or get something to drink. afterwards i felt i had to throw up... then when i laid back down i would kinda snap out of it

 

[Crazymank]

for the first time ever i had an episode while on cycle.

I woke up to a black man standing in my closet. I jumped up and tried to grab him, nothing but clothes... Sat down, cleared my head went back to sleep. Happened again 2 more times, same black dude, standing in the same spot- my reaction was the same.

I think i was more bothered by the fact that it was happening during my cycle than anything. Im used to having a break from these things during my cycles.
