This is a common phenomenon often accompanied by hallucinations and paralysis. Like with all sleep disorders it is first important to find understand the disorder to be able to live with it and cope with it. There is no better way to deal with an illness than to understand it and then face it with the information at hand. Sleep paralysis is often the inability to move or being paralyzed while has hallucinations of terrifying proportions. Talking to a sleep specialist/family/other patients and friends who are knowledgeable about this can help ease the stress of an episode a great deal. Each individual case differs from the other but understanding what sets off an episode can help the patient in avoiding those situations or trying to cope with it. Most often the triggers are not under our control and situations like stress, trauma or anxiety can be causes of an episode. Trying to keep track of what causes the problem or rather having a journal of each episode can determine if there is a pattern and if so then how it can be combated.
Maintaining a sleep routine no matter what and trying to relax have proven to work to some extent. Most research leads to believe that attacks are common when one lies on their back, if that is the case then it is good to try another comfortable sleep position that doesn't trigger this problem. The fact that the episode cannot be identified gives a person enough reason to inform their partner before hand as to what they should expect during one of the attacks. Since the paralysis leaves you speechless and unable to move or gesture other than open your eyes and groan it is important to inform your partner and make sure that they recognize an episode and can bring you out of it.
Unlike other disorders this fades with age and keeping a sleep journal of sorts to see what triggers the dreams and what can be avoided to reduce the chance of a hallucination if a pattern is observed can reduce the frequency and length of these episodes. Some helpful tips to follow could be relaxing and doing away with stress inducers, eating healthy and balanced meals, breathing well to take in more oxygen during the attack, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule, trying to move so as to break or cut short an episode, checking whether your sleep position has anything to do with an attack, concentrating on deep breathing when sensing the onset of an attack can reduce the episode, trying to focus on some bright object like a light if your paralytic episodes are just before you go to bed and so on. Apart from these it may be useful to try and talk to your physician if the attacks increase in frequency or are of longer duration.
