Holy s*** I just had a sleep paralysis episode as I was falling asleep for a nap and it was absolutely terrifying. I thought I was going to die because I couldn’t move my muscles much and my heartbeat was rapid. I thought I was having a heart attack or something.

I heard intense shuffling of feet along the carpet and a chaotic cacophony of auditory hallucinations.

Luckily I tried to breathe slowly and knew they weren’t real, and somehow I snapped out of it. Though it took me like 10 minutes to calm the f*** down.

I think I’ve also had one as I was falling asleep last night, but I assumed it was a dream.

But this one was definitely real. Pretty sure I was conscious of it as it was happening. I guess that teaches me not to stay up until 4 am in the morning. F*** school and homework.
