Knowing that you will eventually "wake up" from the episode of Sleep Paralysis, some sufferers will rest in the condition, allowing it to pass naturally. Others will struggle to "wake up" each and every time it occurs. A good way to leave the paralysed state is to breathe in a calm, relaxed fashion and make attempts to move small body parts, such as the eyelids or fingers and toes.
You may find it helpful to arrange with your sleeping partner that, should they hear muffled cries or sense minor body movements, they can wake you up, jolting you from the paralytic state.
Repeated occurrences can happen within a relatively short period, so changing sleeping positions can stop further episodes that night.
