Sleep paralysis,need comfort.

Last night,I went to bed early but I couldn't sleep because the noise in the dorm,I was very tired.While I was lying on bed,half awake and half asleep,I felt an attack from my left ear to my right ear and on my neck.I felt a strange power was oppressing me.I couldn't move.I was so scared.I called upon Father and Jesus for many times but it didn't work until a minute later.I awoke and wept.I told Father I was scared and asked Him to protect me.Did He hear my prayer? I want to find quiet place to sleep where I will be alone but I am too frightened to sleep alone.

Sorry to hear that, that sounds scary

Here is a recent discussion about sleep paralysis that might be edifying for you:

I had sleep paralysis for years.. from about 12 years old to about 19. Sometimes it would happen as often as 5 times in one night. I know how scary it can be. For a long time, I assumed it was demonic because that's what my parents thought and it was always associated with feeling a strong evil presence in the room and terrifying fear(Who wouldn't be scared when you can't even cry out for help or open your eyes). I also used to mentally pray... calling on the name of Jesus and begging him not to let whatever it was kill me. (My parents even took me to my pastors to ask for prayer. But no amount of praying was helping.) I asked about sleep paralysis in college when we were discussing sleep disorders. It's just basically a mis-firing of your brain. When you first go to sleep or start to wake up, your body naturally goes into a temporary paralysis state. We don't know this because we aren't conscious. By the time we become conscious, that paralysis state is supposed to be turned off. For some reason, ours doesn't and then suddenly we are conscious with no ability to move. I honestly found it very helpful to listen to music while falling asleep. I always chose something soothing and christian.. typically soft worship songs. I sometimes left the tv on. These things seemed to make a big difference. After awhile, I got used to it. The fear feeling was always present (and not something you ever get comfortable with) but I knew what was happening and was able to calm myself down until I regained motor control of my body. I did rely on God for strength and comfort though during those times.

Don't get discouraged. God does hear your prayers and when the fear becomes unbearable just remember that He is with you. Sleep paralysis won't kill you, it won't even hurt you. (Important to remember this when you are experiencing an episode.) It's just associated with really strong feelings of fear. Ask God to help give you the strength to face the fear.

(Some people claim the sleep paralysis they experienced was demonic. I can only speak for myself. I don't know what others have experienced. But mine seemed to be nothing more than a sleeping disorder, even though at times it felt pretty evil, but I pretty much grew out of it.)
