sleep paralysis how to stop it?

since 2019 i have been dealing with sleep paralysis, i never had it before that. my worst case has been once every day for 2 weeks straight, maximum of twice in the same night. then it stops for a few weeks and goes back, now i get it like 3 times a week. this causing me to have insomnia, how to stop sleep paralysis? 5 out of 10 times i feel presence of entities in those dreams then once the realization turns in, i wake up, cant move and then half of those times i will see a hallucination of a scary entitity whether that would be a ghost like entity or a old lady, etc..

also in a few dreams i was being stabbed in the stomach and i could feel pain while waking up

 

I am religious but I always stick to scientifical answers first when it comes to stuff like this, but I can confirm to you guys that other than constant sleep paralysis, I have seen paranormal activity in my home before several times

my siblings told me I am crazy. One time I had a very realistic hallucunation of an entity and an animal on my bed when i woke up. also I worried if I was becoming schizophrenic because sometimes I heared my mom calling my name, I went to her and said "yeah?" and she says "what?" so i said didnt you call my name and she says no. Other times I hear someone stirring a spoon in a cup in the kitchen but none's there, i became paranoid and started recording with my phone for almost an hour to get anything on camera but no luck. Also another example of hearing a noise replicating a kick on my trashbin in the room, but i am alone in the room.This hasn't happened in a while but many instances like that happened and yes I am religious, don't believe ghosts exist but I believe sort of demons may exist


I may sound like a lunatic but what would i gain from lying.. nothing. I assure u i am 100% truthful. Whether im schizophrenic or not is something i dont know. But my mom has bipolar so maybe mental illness runs in my family

i still have the sleep paralysis (mostly without hallucinations) now so i thought i would ask here for help because the community helped me alot with very personal questions. I am very apprecative of this community

i read that sleep paralysis can be causes by lack of sleep but i sleep so much... ok my schedule is bad from vacation but like i sleep at 7-8-9 or 10 am but i wake at 6 pm so that's a minimum of 8 hours

 

yes but hospitals closed here now except for emergies because of corona so i must wait

 

that fits my current life so u are correct i think

 

i keep changing my positions, i cant sleep still. Sometimes sleeping on left side then right side then on my back then on stomach, also yesterday i decided to sleep at 5.30 but till after 7.15 i couldnt fall asleep (i kept checking clock every while)

 

ok thank you i will try the mint tea i have it at home

 

good news: i have not had it happen since 2 weeks now, but usually around that time stamp it starts happening again so im making myself ready but at the same time doing the things that u guys said like taking mint tea before bed

 

thank you!

i still have the thoughts pop up once a day but i can erase them quickly by thinking about other stuff, i have not felt sad about the event anymore (only if i willingly keep thinking about it, which till now i have not)

so its going good so far, thanks for asking!
