Sleeping on my back, throat closes off, I wake up enough to know what's going on but not enough to move. Sleep paralysis. Eventually I wake up enough to open my throat to breathe. A bit frightening. It happened enough that I tried several methods to be able to breath. Eventually I got a CPap machine, then a BiPap. They keep me awake. Currently don't need 'em and haven't had the problem in years. Once after I stopped using them, I was in the hospital and started having problems. I had to ask the absolute darling desk nurse for a CPap... I didn't mind. She was going to send to another floor, but I'd already seen a couple in a storeroom just down the hall. (I wandered around as much as I could as I wasn't confined to bed on that visit.) The machine helped, and I even got enough sleep. Didn't need it back home. If it ever happens again and gets bad without the machine, the defibrillator will wake me. Once when I was much younger my nose stopped up and my mouth was closed. Woke to sleep paralysis and thought, "What a stupid human body design to have only one way to breathe and that can get clogged up." My mouth opened, I was able to breathe, "Oh... OK." and went back to sleep. One odd time I woke up to sleep paralysis not because of breathing, but because my cat had me wedged in where I couldn't move. By supreme effort of will I was able to make the words, "Get this [redacted] cat off me!" The cat was moved, I was able to move, and woke completely up. I forgave the cat and he still slept with me after that without problems. Plenty of sleep paralysis but no night hags or shadow men. Just a cat. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

I have to sit on the edge of the bed for 15-20 minutes before I stand up due to my bad back. Downside could be it would probably scare our cats if they see me coming in that contraption 🙀

If you stumble upon a tarantula, that would make more sense. Must be something that’s hard-wired in us. Still the scariest! David Hedison says "eat me!"

Scariest thing I'd seen in a movie to that date. Sorta like the girl at the beginning of Jaws. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!
