Sleep Paralysis

Won't write much today. Not feeling 100% . 

On top of that I had an episode of sleep paralysis early this morning that always leaves me a little off.  I get them often and have been since I was a child.  Sometimes they are absolutely terrifying and other times I am more curious than anything.  Regardless, I know in each of them I need to roll over and wake up or else....!!

I always  have this extreme battle to "wake up".  I mentally fight because I cannot physically fight or move anything but my eyeballs  to wake up away from the pressure on my chest.  Anyway...I will get into that at another time. 

For now...just know that though this particular episode was not as frightening(it was still scary)...it still leaves me exhausted for the rest of the day, unsettled and questioning.  My questioning has led me to some research.
