Sleep paralysis

it hasnt happened recently, but sometimes I wake up and I cant move. it usually doesnt last long, because I make myself move out of force. its happened at my old house, my friends houses, the house im in now- its happened a lot. sometimes I can even...

remember hearing my brothers voice, or a part of a tv show repeated over and over. I can swear im awake, too. I just want to know how to stop it, because now its seriously starting to freak me out.

try not to sleep on your back. thats the only time it actually happens is when you sleep on your back. it happens to me all the time when I sleep on my back

hmm... maybe it's your diet??
it happens to my dad only when he eats bananas..
it has, I don't know.. something (I'm too tired to think)
in it so he goes to sleep and when he wakes up he can't move..

I've had the same thing happen to me...really not sure what it is or how to stop it. I think it mostly happens when a person is over tired and just dozing off. My son has had this happen too. We joke that we're being abducted by aliens but who really knows.
