(The American Heritage Science Dictionary) When someone has experienced sleep paralysis they not only have the paralysis, they often have other symptoms that come along with it. These symptoms include pressure/sensation, out of body experience and the most common hallucination. A person can experience two types of hallucinations, auditory and physical, which causes the body to go into a paranoia panic.
Studies shows that missing two night’s sleep can lead to a problem in concentrating and will begin to make mistakes on normal tasks. Three missed nights, person could hallucinate and lose grasp to reality, with that lack of sleep seems to increase its levels.

History In the history of Western medicine, sleep paralysis has been documented for at least 300 years. Writing in 2008 Kompanje describes a 1664 case report from Dutch physician Isbrand Van Diemerbroeck titled ‘Of the Night-mare’. It describes a patient’s symptoms: “…in the night time, when she was composing herself to sleep, sometimes she believed the devil lay upon her and held her down, sometimes that she was choked by a great dog or thief lying upon her breast, so that she could hardly speak or breath and when she endeavored to throw off the burthen, she was not able to stir her members.”
It can be caused by disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), narcolepsy, and idiopathic hypersomnia [1-4]. A previous study showed that the prevalence of EDS was 2.5% in the Japanese general population [5], and another study showed an EDS prevalence of 8.7% in the general population of the United States [6]. Thus, EDS is common worldwide. People who suffer from EDS sleep a lot during the daytime and usually have cognitive and memory problems. In addition, EDS might be associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with OSA [7] and narcolepsy [8-11].
The people who experience sleep paralysis more than once, usually have it more than usual. Having sleep paralysis more than once can be very scary, and cause extreme stress or paranoia. Some people do not take the time to research this unusual event, and choose to deal with the effects of sleep paralysis. If you take your time to research sleep paralysis, you may come across “cures” for it. These “cures” aren't permanent, but they are temporary, and will likely numb the chance of experiencing sleep paralysis.
