When I first got it it took me ages to get back to sleep especially because I literally found it so hard to break out of, but because I have it so often now it's easier...you just have to put your mind to moving your finger or foot around and you'll snap out of it. It's awful because you know you're in a state of sleep paralysis. It's easier said than done though

This is exactly what happens to me. The doctor said its anxiety related.... When it first happened to me, I thought I was on my way out....I couldn't speak or move but now I know what they are it's much easier to deal with. I have to get out of bed though or I fall back into it...
