The Different Types of Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis can last between a few seconds to ten minutes and can end either spontaneously or because of intense effort to break the paralysis by the person experiencing it. These attacks often involve feelings of really intense fear, terror, bliss, joy, anger, feelings of dying or imminent death. False awakenings are also reported oftentimes and they believe that they've awoken and the episodes over only to discover that they're still in fact asleep.
