Alright so I often read a lot of posts in this section of the forum, with people saying that they don't know what to do after sleep paralysis, as they sit in it for hours and nothing happens What most may not get is that in normal cases, you shouldn't be sitting in SP for so long, as SP should only last for as long as you dream and in some cases a bit after/before the dream. In that case, only two things are possible : there is something wrong with you for being in SP so long, or your not really in SP.

So on to my advice, some people don't know when to get up out of bed during SP. Once you are sure you have reached SP, there are a couple of signs most people experience, although its different for everybody. Some get vibrations, others hear voices and feel people touching them. Heaviness itself does not count, because I (Like some of you) spent months trying to WILD, thinking that I was in SP because parts of my body felt numb, when in reality it was because I hadn't moved in a long time. For me personally, I get loud vibrations sounding like grinding metal and ringing in my ears and I also feel them throughout my body. My body feels very heavy and stays in this state for no longer than 1 minute usually. It is at this point I begin t transition. After feeling SP, I start to feel a shift in physical manifestation of my own body. It's hard to explain it but I felt it this morning in the WILD I had just minutes ago. It was as if my body was being stretched apart, limb by limb, and then put back together almost, and my position on the bed had drifted slightly. Sometimes my body will float above my bed and be turned around to change its shape. After this sensation, I was ready to get up and stabilize and start my dream.

In all cases, if anyone here is wondering when to get up during SP, know that its different for everybody. You will most likely feel a change in your body, something significant, rather than just heaviness. Sometimes you will feel nothing and the vibrations will just stop, this is usually a F.A. for me. I hope my experience may help some of you who don't know when to transition.
