  • I have had it all my life so my condolences. I used to sleep on my stomach and if wake up with my face in a pillow suffocating and unable to move so I learned to sleep on my side, lol.

    The first few hundred times are legit traumatizing, but after a while I learned that when it’s happening I just need to try to stay calm and focus on my breathing. I think the panic makes hallucinations etc worse. Time is also fucky for me in paralysis mode, I can swear im moving about and crying for help for minutes but from the outside it’s been a few seconds. It sucks.

    Weirdly enough, I had a surgery to get my gall bladder removed a few years ago and since then sleep paralysis went from like 3-4 times a week down to once every couple months and now pretty much never. Who knows, maybe the anaesthetic reset my brain.

    I used to avoid afternoon naps in warm rooms because that was, for some reason, a trigger for me.




  • also I don’t like that one litre = 1 millibucket meaning 1000 L = 1 bucket. To be fair though, I think a cubic space of a meter can hold a lot more than a litre of water.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm3), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm3) or 0.001 cubic metres (m3). A cubic decimetre (or litre) occupies a volume of 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm (see figure) and is thus equal to one-thousandth of a cubic metre.

    oh god oh fuck he’s right there really is 1000 L in a cubic meter … I find that so hard to believe honestly, I’m gonna need a tank and a garden hose and uhh a plausible explanation for the water company

    One litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, because the kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic decimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice (0 °C).[5] Subsequent redefinitions of the metre and kilogram mean that this relationship is no longer exact.

    also sad that this is no longer exact high school teachers are crying
