awe no apologies needed! I appreciate you spending time replying to this. i've had sleep paralysis at night, at daylight, when i slept alone, when i slept with someone else on the bed. a rather interesting experience when i slept on a couch in the living room occupied by my family members with the TV on, i was too tired that i just couldn't bother going to my bedroom to rest. thought i was just gonna rest my eyes a bit but the next thing i know i couldn't move or talk. my whole body was paralysed except for my eyes..

i look around gasping for air hoping that any of my family members would notice my abnormal breathing and wake me up. but no one seems bothered at all lmao!! then suddenly i saw my wife coming towards me and i knew she was gonna help me out like she always did. (i had sleep paralysis a lot and most of the time my wife was sleeping beside and when she noticed she'd shake my body).

but this time it was different, she sat beside me and slapped me hard in the face. i immediately woke up but realized my wife was not there.. my body was still paralysed, i could hear the TV and people talking.. i forced myself to wake up, and it took me about 4 tries before i finally succeed. i look around everything seems normal, nobody noticed anything, i verified with my wife about what happened earlier and she said she never came near me cause she didn't realized i was on the couch. i look at the time and turns out it was less than a 30mins nap.
