I mean like, detects your brainwaves and shakes you awake if it detects you are awake but unable to move.
Like I can still slightly move my fingers during sleep paralysis, is there a way to use my tiny bit of control to activate a button, which then triggers a device that shakes me awake? 😆
🤔
Idk I keep getting sleep paralysis every night, feels so weird.
Do you sleep on your back? AFAIK sleep paralysis is more common for back sleepers.
Idk I kinda roll around lmao
CPAP
You likely have sleep apena, and when your blood oxygen drops low you get sleep paralysis.
Not that I know of. When I had sleep paralysis every night it was because I was sleeping on my back under a heated blanket on a futon. Changing that reduced the sleep paralysis. Finding your personal triggers is helpful. I mostly get it these days if I’m abruptly woken up and then fall immediately back to sleep. Try messing with how you’re sleeping, or look up suggestions on how to break out of it? On the rare occasion I still get it, I know how to break out because of that unfortunate period of time when I got to experiment every night.
I wonder if an alarm like you’re suggesting would just make regular alarm noises. That’d probably work. The one time an episode itself made me break out of it, I thought I heard my mother screaming in the kitchen, in a way that made me think she’d chopped off a finger. I immediately leapt out of bed and ran there, like, “are you okay???” thinking she’d be bleeding out. She looked at me and asked the same question, since she’d been minding her own business and suddenly i yelled and ran in. Alarm that makes a blood curdling scream, anyone?
I used to get sleep paralysis all the time. For me it was because I was sleeping on my back which (according to some shit I read online a very long time ago) makes sleep paralysis more likely to occur. Haven’t had any issues since I started forcing myself to sleep on my side only.
that happens to me to, only on the back, and only when im exhausted from the prior day. theres also the paralysis demon dream.
You mean the witches that appear over th bed dream
during a sleep paralysis, sometimes you kinda dream as well, and sometimes its a “figure” one time it was a zombies thing messing with the sheets
I know it’s not exactly what you’re after, but have you tried holding your breath or a few rounds of trying to breathe sharply?
YMMV but I find I can break out pretty easily.
You can try looking into a sleep position trainer. It isn’t what you’re asking about, but it has had good results in reducing or eliminating the paralysis episodes, so it’s a similar outcome.
The problem with what you’re specifically asking about is that nobody has gone into production afaik. There’s patents for things like they, but they’re either junk (and obviously so), or would be way too complicated to set up and use reliably. Sleep paralysis isn’t usually responsive to just shaking by itself.
But you could try something similar to the alarms made for deaf people, if you have a consistent timing with your episodes. Or do something like strap a massager to your hand where you can cut it on and hope that the vibration breaks through. People have made that work, though it isn’t consistent afaik.
This sounds medical, better to ask an MD about the syndrome.
i only get sleep paralysis from sleeping on my back, never on my sides. somehow on yuor back it puts in a more “relaxed” state. and usually only when i was tired the day before.
nothing cheap
I just go back to sleep and usually the next time I wake up, so does my body.
