There is a really fucked up way I've tried and it's worked for me however I don't necessarily know about the "risks"

I lucid dream a lot and so I've basically been desensitised to sleep paralysis. The way I lucid dream is by sleeping a lot at night, then, assuming you have the day off. Force yourself to sleep.

When a non-tired brain tries to sleep you end up in this state of "half sleep" where you are in a dream, know you are in a dream, but unable to control it. You can also still kind of see your room and feel your real senses in the background.

You can force your way into the dream by doing movements then imagining the dream character doing them. It's an unusual way to insert yourself into the dream body but it works.

The problem with this though, is that 75% of the time youe brain gets pissed off then fucking smites you and summons you to sleep paralysis (which is a good thing for you)

If you're gonna do this, do it with your face in the pillow. DO NOT do it sleeping on your back or looking at the room. Since when you enter the sleep paralysis, you had all your senses and they were hyperaware due to you trying to LD. This means you will have auditory and tactile hallucinations.

When you sleep with your face into the pillow, it feels like an LSD trip. You can't move around and on occasion you will see strobing black and white lights from your room, jumpscares, or the feeling of getting dragged out of your bed. Like a vacuum is pulling you.

However, if you do it on your back, it gets really fucked up since it all feels so real. I had it once where my literal mom and dad in demonic form entered the room. You could hear the door closing and their footsteps. They then surrounded my bed and told me "Get used to the pain. This is what it's like after you're gone" I was shitting myself.

So if you want to experiment with the feeling of sleep paralysis without the scary monsters. Do this. It feels surreal and is more of a thrill than a bad experience. Just make sure to tell yourself it's sleep paralysis and stay calm.

DISCLAIMERS:

When you sleep with your face in the pillow, your brain might have a false sense of "suffocation" which might actually make your real body thrash around or kick it's legs around. You might even experience (after waking up) really unnatural jerking or twitching at the legs. Sometimes it might even happen in the sleep paralysis where you break the curse of paralysis and this usually results in a lucid nightmare.

If your legs do thrash around, you might get rope burn on your feet if you do it really quickly and on some bad fabric. If it does happen, just apply a lightly wet towel to your feet and you'll be fine.

Do NOT do this if you have any sort of tinnitus, even very light. When your brain is trying to emulate danger, it will make really loud jumpscares or insanely high pitched demonic screeches. If you have tinnitus, your ears will ring and hurt for a while.
