First of all, you must understand that there is no sure way to induce sleep paralysis (also known as "sleep paralysis"). Start with an irregular sleep schedule. Lie down, relax, and repeat the same word in your head over and over. Another way is to set your alarm clock about 4-6 hours after sleeping, then wake up for 15-30 minutes.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Induce sleep paralysis by interrupting sleep

1. 

   Practicing an unstable sleep schedule. Research shows a link between unstable sleep habits and sleep paralysis, as well as genetic influences. People who have to work unstable shifts, have irregular or interrupted sleep habits are more likely to experience sleep paralysis. In general, this phenomenon is more common in people who sleep little and often lose sleep.
   • Remember that adults need 6-9 hours of sleep each night, and don't often be reluctant to sleep less than this.
   • Frequent insomnia increases the risk of several health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Insomnia also reduces your ability to focus and alert, making you more prone to accidents.

2. 

   
   
   Break your sleep cycle with naps. There is no way that sleep paralysis can be sure. Although this phenomenon is quite common, but the exact cause of it is not known yet. Breaking your sleep cycle with interrupted sleep at night and taking small naps in the evening is a great way to create sleep paralysis. This is not entirely accurate, but it is a way to interrupt your sleep cycle and potentially create sleep paralysis.
   • Wake up earlier than usual, before the time you normally start your day activities. In general you will be active throughout the day even though you feel tired.
   • Then take a nap for no more than two hours in the evening between 7 pm-10pm.
   • When you wake up, be active for at least an hour before you go to bed.

3. 

   
   
   Lie in bed and relax. Being in a comfortable position is important if you want to fall asleep. Sleeping upright on your back is also a common factor that will make you more likely to get a crush. The cause and effect relationship is not yet clear, but they do find a large number of people experiencing paralysis while sleeping on their back. Lie down as much as you can and repeat the same word over and over again like you are reciting the mantra, so you will find your mind relaxed and clear.
   • Repeatedly repeat that word and start imagining that someone is saying the word to you.
   • Try not to be distracted if you notice light and other sensations.
   • Focus on the repeating word, relax, and you will feel like you are approaching the threshold of sleep paralysis.

4. 

   
   
   Waking up in the night. Another way to disrupt sleep and potentially lead to sleep paralysis is to wake yourself up during the night. Set an alarm for 4-6 hours after sleeping, then wake up 15-30 minutes before going back to sleep. During waking up you should reactivate your mind by reading a book. Then continue to bed, eyes closed but awake.
   • To do this you should repeat a spell like "You are a witch" or focus on a specific point in your vision.
   • You will then gradually drift into paralysis as you begin to fall asleep, but your mind will remain awake.

Method 2 of 2: Understanding sleep paralysis

1. 

   How does sleep paralysis take place? During this time you still feel alert but cannot move or talk, usually lasting only a few seconds or minutes, or possibly longer but very rarely. People with paralysis often feel pressure on their chest or feel suffocated, as if something is pressing against their chest.
   • Paralysis doesn't hurt but frighten you, especially if you've never experienced it before.
   • Some people experience this state a few times in their lives, others more often, but others never see it.
   • Usually, paralysis is more likely to occur in teenagers and adolescents, although it can be experienced by anyone and not influenced by gender.

2. 

   Recognize the symptoms. The main feature of sleep paralysis is a feeling of alertness but the inability to move the body, often accompanied by a feeling of difficulty breathing. A fairly common feature is that people see frightening hallucinations, and it feels very real that something is threatening them in their bedroom. These hallucinations are especially vivid because dreams occur when you are half-awake and half-lethargic.
   • Sleep paralysis can create feelings of discomfort and anxiety, and will last after you get out of paralysis.
   • Sleep paralysis itself can be a symptom of narcolepsy.

3. 

   Know when to see a doctor. Sleep paralysis doesn't do any harm, but if you experience it regularly, your sleep schedule will be disrupted. Adjusting your sleep cycle to be more regular and trying to limit stress in your life is a way to reduce the likelihood of sleep paralysis. Seek advice from your doctor if your life is negatively affected by sleep paralysis. In some cases, doctors have to prescribe antidepressants for a short time.
   • If symptoms are severe, it could be caused by a sleep disorder, such as narcolepsy.
   • See your doctor if you feel very sleepy during the day and find it difficult to concentrate on work.

Advice

• If you no longer feel sleepy after you return to bed, find a more comfortable lying position that will often make it easier for you to fall asleep.
• Try to count the numbers in your head to keep your mind awake.
• Sleep paralysis can be the doorway to other phenomena such as physical experiences and awakening.

Warning

• Note that sleep paralysis has the potential to create visual or auditory hallucinations. Try to stay calm if hallucinations occur. Remember that you are in a safe environment so there is nothing to worry about.
• If you frequently create paralysis while you sleep, you will gradually exhausted, so you should not practice this method every day. Your body needs at least eight hours of sleep a day with no interruptions in between.
