I apologize for not responding sooner. I actually forgot that I had posted on this part of the board.
bleitzow, No, I didn't receive any visitors the night of my post on this thread, nor have I since then.
Elaina, I'm not sure why it happens to others, but it does seem more likely to happen to me when I try go to bed without being very sleepy. I remember being at work many years ago, and there were five other people in the room. This subject somehow came up, and everyone, including myself, had experienced this sleep paralysis. As far as my family goes, I don't recall the subject even coming up. I'll have to remember to ask them.
Sosia, Greetings to you as well. If it hasn't happened to you by now, it probably won't. It happened to me once when I was about ten years old, then again a few years later. Then only a few times a year as an adult. In general...no big deal.
