Sleeping problem

[Shicky]

I've seen it referred to on here before, basically it feels like you're half awake and being held down but you cant wake properly and move for a few seconds.

Thing is I only get this when I stay at my parents house, every single time and as im back to avoid distractions for revision, this isntthe greatest thing.

Anyone know of any possible remedies as I do not fancy dying from lack of sleep daily while trying to revise?

I will not be popping sleeping tabs as I think that's dumb.

I dont think its stress related, it seems to be related to sleeping in my room at home for whatever reason. I've never got it in my own flat and i've had stressful times much more there than here at my parents.

Never thought of sleeping on my front or side helping it actually, will see how I get on with that. Thank you!

Yeah I would say im in the paralysis for at most 10seconds, focus on moving my arm and I fully wake. It generally happens to me after 2-4hours sleep, this is the main reason for me wanting to get rid of it. As by waking once, on occasion twice in the middle of the night significantly reduces the quality of sleep.

As I said im not really overly stressed or anything, not going through anything I havent done before, just seems to be related to sleeping back home. As I have exams I would rather not have broken sleep and be knocked out for a good 6-7hours straight
