    How prevalent is sleep paralysis? I can’t say I’ve ever experienced it, and I’ve definitely never seen any kind of sleep paralysis demon. Are yall ok?

      The one time it happened to me, I was wearing a sleep mask. I felt strongly that someone entered my room and was walking towards me even though I couldn’t see anything. It was really intense. The moment I was able to move again and take off my mask, I realized what happened and was a bit disappointed I didn’t get to see what horror my paralysis demon would end up being.

      Had it for years as a kid. Sometimes wake up paralysed 6-7times a night. Fucking ducked. It finally went away when I started ignoring the fear and going back to sleep.

      I had it happen to me once over a decade ago when I was in middle school. I don’t remember much on what it felt like.

    Give that motherfucker some wild strands of hair standing on his head, put his minions all over the walls crawling around, and this is honestly my sleep paralysis demon. Like holy shit, they’re probably twins.
