I'm On My Bed Trying to Sleep When ... Posted: 04-26-07 19:56pm
I'm on my bed trying to sleep when I hear
this noise in my ears. It like the noise
when the TV is silent yet there is this
buzzy noise. I think it that or either or
sound similar to it get loud in my ear.
Then when it get so loud, my whole body
shakes. It not like a vigorous shake. I
can't move AT ALL for about a minute or
less and it happen a bit frequently. About
every one a week or 2. I can still think
when my body shakes. When it happen I was
praying everything will be alright.
I couldn't sleep well and I lack sleep and
end up sleeping in school often. I am a
freshman in high school. I really need
advice or help. Please reply or email to
awula3@yaho
o.com. Thank you.

What ur experiencing is sleep paralysis.
You cant move because your body paralyze
its self while dreaming. The reason it
does this is so you dont sleep walk(act
out your dream physically).
As for the buzzing part, its a
hallucination. Remember your still in that
dreaming state. If this happends again,
you might start to actually see things.
This has been happening to me recently.
Its the most terrifying experience ive
ever felt. The only advice I could give
you is when this happends stay calm, it
normally wont last more then 30sec. Try
and move your fingers and toes, then
slightly regain control over your body.
If you feel pressure on your body this is
normal too, try not to sleep on your back.
As for the reason why this happends. Have
you been depriving ur self from sleep
lately? Have you been feeling stressed
out? Before you go to bed, do something
relaxing, try not think of all your
problems while in your bed. If your
feeling afraid, sleep with your light on,
or sleep with the radio/tv on for a while.
Dont be scared to sleep, it only makes
things worst. Good luck.
I think I might have that. I been lacking
sleep lately but a bit stress out. Thanks.
I sleep better in the afternoon cuz there
is more light. I have a night light but
its not helping much. Also in the
afternoon my brother have the computer on
so its gets a but loud and I still manage
to sleep. thank you .

Buzzy Noise Posted: 10-04-07 08:49am
Hey. The paralysis bit sounds spot-on
(I've only experienced it a few times, but
I know that it's really disconcerting),
but the buzzing you hear makes me think of
the ringing I get in my ears. My father
blames it on loud noise (he gets it as
well, and used to work in a trashcan
factory when he was in college), but we
both experience it. Now, I've had my share
of loud noises, but I'm a drummer who
always wears ear protection. So I think
it's genetic since he and I have very
similar skeletal/muscular structures and
are the only two in the family to share
the condition, if one would call it that.
If what you hear is like a ringing (like
the ultra-high pitched squeal of an old
T.V.) that gets louder and louder as you
focus on it, you might share this one.
If that's the buzzing you hear, here's
what I do: I get up (I find that sitting
isn't enough, I have to be on my feet for
at least 10 minutes or so) and listen to a
song or two while I eat starches. Bread,
noodles, anything of the sort. Usually a
PB&J sandwich or something simple.
It's an odd solution, I know - but it
works for me. Might work for you, if
you're in the same boat. I think it has to
do with stress, but I can't say for sure.
The one thing I can advise is that, while
easier said than done, don't focus on the
ringing/buzzing. As soon as you notice it, get
up and give yourself some external stimuli
to take your thoughts off of it (that's
where the tunes and starches come in for
me). The more you focus on it and think
about it, the more pronounced it will
become. I've only experienced paralysis
once in this situation, but I did tremble
uncontrollably.
Hope that helps.

i have experienced the same thing over the
last 4 yrs or so. and have recently
discovered that i have sp as well (sleep
paralysis) there isn't much that a person
can do to have it go away, it can actually
be pretty cool once you get used to it. i
can actually fly in my dreams, wake myself
up when i know i'm dreaming and it's not a
good dream, wake up in my dream, etc.
as for the shaking in bed, i've had that
happen to me a few times, and my husband
thought i was crazy. only my side of the
bed was shaking, and it kept waking me up.
i looked into it, and found that along
with sp is what is called
"astro-projection", and it's an "out of
body" experience. sounds scary, and it was
for me. i actually ended up in someone
elses house, and they came into their bdrm
and was eating chips. it was really
strange, but i was awake but sleeping. so
i guess what happens is the inner being of
the person, actually leaves the body and
can go all over the world. the shaking may
be caused from the inner self going back
in to the body too quickly. it's nothing
to be alarmed about the more you learn
the less you will be afraid of always here to help
