I am 22 years old. I have been having these nightmares these dreams of not being able to move, or like something is holding me down and i cannot scream or do anything, I have had these since I was probably In the 8th grade. Sometimes they get so Clear and It feels like something very evil Is trying to keep me down sometimes there are other people in the dreams but they never seem to help me. I Have learned to try and stay calm, but last night it happened again which was the first time in a few months, and it sparked my curiosity to look them up and see if I can get some answers on How to maybe control them better, Because I tend to wake up in a cold sweat in which seems like a nightmare that last forever, and every time it feels like its not a very good presence I never feel happy or calm I try to keep myself as calm as possible because I know that it may just be a bad nightmare, I have have other experiences, weird dreams of falling from high distances in the sky and landing perfectly fine on the ground, or my dream ends right when I hit, I even get the actual adrenaline from falling I can feel everything until I hit then I feel nothing. If any one has any thoughts on this please give me a shout I would like to try and calm these down or learn to deal with them in a better way. Thank you -Ashley hello my name is Ashley.

I've had similar false awakenings in SP thinking that my wife was coming back into the room.

Next time someone says I'll sleep when I'm dead, just tell them "and that eventuality is coming 5-10 years earlier for you." that's a real party pleaser. and I aim to please. :) awesome.

A recent study just found that attractiveness ratings go up at least 5% when someone has slept in. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3001961/ thanks for the 5htp tip too. hey KMG so true about beauty sleep!

Besides nurses, seamanship includes the greatest pool of sleep deprivation sufferers in the workforce. awesome that you found a way to adapt.. that's revolutionary too. If more people did what you do for drowsy driving, we'd have thousands of fewer fatalities on the road. Incident reports are skewed to blame alcohol, but actually many accidents are the combo of alcohol and sleep deprivation. wow.
