i keep having this issue where the sleep paralysis sets in before i actually lose consciousness.
i have fan on when i sleep and as the paralysis sets in, the sound gets louder, and my body goes all numb, weird and dizzy. it's a highly unpleasant sensation like i'm falling, so it startles me and i wake up.
this happens repeatedly until i finally fall asleep in the correct way.
i'm having it right now and my body is still semi numb and tingly.
