I had sleep paralysis three times in my 43 years. It feels like someone is in the room and you try to scream but nothing comes out. You just have to force yourself back to sleep.

Good that you can but the severity of this condition varies and some people are not able to do this.

I had regular episodes of sleep paralysis. I could open my eyes and see apparitions, aliens (once literally the acid alien from Alien) etc. They would seem real in that state.

I eventually learned to recognize when I had sleep paralysis and will myself awake. It’s pretty much stopped after I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder and was treated for it.
