8. Could you have a sleep study?

I did and it was on that particular night - that I had a sleep paralysis episode. They had increased over the years to at least once a week.

I found out I had what my then fiancé, now husband called 'super powers' -

hyper somniac with a touch of narcolepsy. Add in a ton stress (my father was dying from cancer at the time) and the aliens on my chest were showing up at least once a week.

It's terrifying - until you know what it is.

At least my 'super powers' also indicated why I have sleep walked on and off throughout my life. Folks have had some pretty interesting conversations with me over the years.
