      I am 60. I had my first episode when I was 14 or 15. Since then, It occurs at least 2 or 3 times monthly. I did not meet anyone else with sleep paralysis until this year. I did not even know it has a medical name but I learned how to manage it. I told myself that it is just a dream. Usually I try to screen and it take a simple touch from someone to end. When I am alone in the room, I tell myself that it will eventually end. I focus  on my breathing and try to relax. But when it is accompanied with scary hallucinations it leave me exhausted.
