hi
thanks for using HCM.
as you are suffering from sleep paralysis , i would like to inquire more about other associated symptom like day time sleepiness, hypnogogic or hypnopompic hallucination etc to make a diagnosis of narcolepsy. as the frequency of sleep paralysis increases if you are deprived of adequate sleep. so you take proper sleep, maintain proper sleep hygiene. also consult sleep specialist for the same. thanks
