Last night I woke up (think) to find my eyes barely open unable to see. What I thought was my mom was gazing at me over the bed. At first I was scared, well really startled. Than I told myself to calm down I was only in sleep paralysis. Still like 30 seconds went by and I got startled again, but than I reminded myself it was paralysis and to just relax. This went on for another minute(or what seemed like it) until I gasped and fully awoke and finally fully opened my eyes to find nothing there… After that I drifted quickly asleep…
Was I an some sort of sleep paralysis? Or was I just dreaming that I was in sp?
I should note: Could it be a side effect of B6? Because I took 500mg before bed.
I don’t know if that was SP, it never happened to me yet, well, to wake up and not been able to move with eyes open…
And about vitamin B6, 500mg seems a lot, might be the cause. The most I took was 200mg, (may 3), and got had a my first FA. Another time (may 4th), with 100mg B6, I had one very wild FA. Look my DJ if you’re interested!
In order to know if it was SP :
Did you wake up right at the end of your eperience knowing you had just experienced SP ?
Or did you have the sensation in the morning that you have experienced SP during the night/did you vaguely remember it ?
According to me you had a real SP cause you seem to have evaluated the time it lasted.
When it’s a false SP, you don’t know how long it lasted.
When it’s a real SP, you feel the vibrations much more than in false SP.
In a real SP, you are much more afraid than in a false SP.
You had a SP !!!
But I don’t know if it’s the vitamin B6 which have provoked this.
SP comes with REM sleep. I know you mean the “awareness during SP” but as a matter of fact, your body was paralysed, probably.
If it was really a case of SP or dreaming of it I cannot tell from what you wrote. If you were awake then it was if you were sleeping i guess it wasn’t. It could be something inbetween.
Could be cause by B6? Possibly, If B6 gives you more REM sleep it’s not strange if it’s effects spill over to wakefulness. And it’s not strange it you have a very intense dream that seems like a real SP experience. 500mg is quite a lot.
