Paralysis

I was watching <PERSON> 6 when I fell asleep at around 5pm. I awoke in sleep paralysis where I could not move anything. My dream arms for slowly being ripped from my physical arms as I tried to raise them but it just was not budging. I attempted to use the floating method to float out of my body but that was not working either. There was a clear sight of my entire room at some point but that did not help me get out of my body. I managed to wake up by using the altered breathing technique, but I was being so lazy I fell back asleep into paralysis. Extreme pressure started pushing against the sides of my heads. IRL my jaw sometimes aches really badly and in this paralysis it started to ache horribly. It felt like my jaw was being pulled downwards. I managed to wake up with the altered breathing technique again.
