Hi guys,

I have also experienced this sleep paralysis for more than a decade. The episodes come and go, and they frighten me to death. I used to sleep with the TV on, and thought that there was a link between that and my sleep paralysis, because every time I dozed off with the TV on I would have the episodes. Sometimes the episodes feel like I can't breathe and I am going to die. Mostly it feels like my head is under a blanket and I need to move it but I can't and if I don't wake up soon I'm not going to make it.

Last night was the worst episode I've ever had. I had no television on and was up really late (about 3 in the morning) and I slowly drifted off to sleep...I can't explain it...everytime these episodes happen I feel myself sort of being forced (?) into a deep sleep and I try to open my eyes and regain consciousness but some invisible force is pulling me to a deep sleep...I don't know.

Anyways, back to last night, I was drifting off to sleep when I felt something grab me...I was not choking this time...but I felt like something was pinching my arms together, and the room was getting colder and colder and I could feel these tingles go up and down both arms. I could hear my heart beat crazy in my ears. I felt all around me evil spirits and the intensity of the sense of evil I experienced was so incredibly overwhelming..words can't describe it. I remember that if you cast demons out in Jesus' name then they would go away. I did this three times, and honestly, I felt like it was useless.

Another strange thing is that I prayed to God last night (after not doing so in a LONG time) and this happened.
