Has anyone else experienced a continuous loop?
Last night I suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of exhaustion hit me. My chest and body felt heavy, but at the same time my mind felt extremely active, almost overstimulated. The only thing that felt different from the other times I’ve experienced sleep paralysis was how sudden and intense the exhaustion was, like I was being pulled straight into sleep without being able to fight it.
I could feel myself slipping into sleep paralysis, and I kept trying to twitch or move any part of my body to stop it from happening. Every time I managed to snap out of it, the exhaustion would pull me straight back in again. I was so tired that I couldn’t properly wake myself up or get out of bed, so I ended up stuck in this constant loop for what felt like ages, repeatedly falling into sleep paralysis and forcing myself back out of it over and over again. At one point I finally managed to quickly turn onto my side.
That’s when I started hearing a voice repeatedly saying, “He’s behind you.” It felt like that went on forever too.
After that, I honestly can’t even remember how it ended. I just woke up really late today feeling completely drained, empty, and unsettled by the whole experience.
