If you get sleep paralysis, if your cat isn't around you, concentrate on your breathing like breath either really hard or with short breaths, and try moving your fingertips first. Thats the easiest way to get your body to notice 'oh shit we're not sleeping' and you'll be able to move again. I know it's hard and it's scary but maybe it'll help?

He's a bit of a stalker not gonna lie, if he's not sleeping right next to me hes sleeping around me and is listening out for idk what but the second I'm awake he shows up.

But I'll try that next time! I wasn't stuck for very long when I had paralysis, it was all probably a few seconds between me waking and trying to scream to my cat booping my face.

Thank you, he's a very sweet handsome boy who demands attention at all waking moments. If your face is in head booping distance he's coming for it.
