    Either it’s not real and you’re asleep, or it’s real and sleep won’t be a concern for you shortly anyhow.

      I legit enjoy getting scared so much that the few times I’ve experienced sleep paralysis I’m like “oh boy! it’s happening!” —but apparently that is exactly how you end a sleep paralysis episode is to just know that it is one/knowing it’s one helps relax you back into sleep.

      Really bums me out.
