Sometimes I actually have to keep every single light on in my home just so my brain will relax enough to let me fall asleep. Though that's certainly not every night...those are the bad nights. I also get very trippy nightmares sometimes...the sort that can bother you during the day when you remember them. I just try to ignore them.
Sleep paralysis is associated with sleep disturbance...broken sleep. Have you ever had a sleep study? it's important to get that addressed, not a good idea to just ride it out.
How's your mood during the day? How's life in general? How do you feel about yourself, your goals etc?
Do you have a history of trauma?
Peace to you.

Egh I can't respond to each and every reply ><
I sleep with me myself and I, I can't imagine sleeping with a spouse or having a spouse at all....And TBH part of that IS related to trauma, but that's not a conversation for this part of the forum.
I didn't used to have nightmares or sleep paralysis, I think that sort of started with ^ same trauma.
I hate the idea of being watched while asleep, or just anyone around while asleep I guess. You're so vulnerable when asleep, I guess that's part of it.
I just got on a new sleep aid, like Monday, and now I sleep with some fairy lights, they make my room much brighter which is both good and bad.
I have over 100 plushies of all kinds and sizes, they take turns sleeping with me, I have one with me on all times even when I go out.
