I know that it is not unusual for people to suffer from sleep paralysis, however I have been experiencing it almost every day, and it is destroying my sleep.

I've been researching what to do when I find myself in the paralyzed state. Sometimes I am able to regain a small amount of control and either fall back to sleep, or jerk one of my extremities and wake myself up, but other times, like last night, I am laying there and I can't breathe and it really freaks me out to the point where I can't do anything.

It has happened to me on several occasions when i'm on a car ride, and I recline the seat to take a nap. I'll know that people are around me, but i'm unable to move or ask for help.

Does anybody know of a way that I can stop this, or cause it to happen less? I don't even want to sleep anymore because this continually happens.
