sunosi

Sunsoi is pretty effective. It's not a CNS. It's actually a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, so it would certainly enhance a CNS, make it last longer.

Yes, you are. It happens as you are falling into or coming out of REM sleep. Your brain normally paralyzes your muscles -- so you don't thrash around. During sleep paralysis, the sleeper is awake, or half awake, and aware they cannot move.

Some people refer to this as "night terrors". I used to get these, and still do occasionally. What I experience is a sound of static, like when your old tv couldn't pick up a signal or when it rains extremely hard. Then I would usually see a shadow person wearing a fedora hat and red eyes standing in the corner of my room. I would then try to move, but as you know couldn't. I couldn't talk either.

What is so creepy about it is that it really seems like you are wide awake. And that weird feeling stays with you all day.

I have always found that these seem to happen the most often when you have unmanaged anxiety. When you have unresolved problems that you worry about, your brain will create problems that are not real and in a weird sense this is therapeutic. But now you're worrying about things that aren't real and this causes the fight or flight sensation when there is nothing to be afraid of. And this manifests itself as sleep paralysis sometimes.

Causes you to believe you are still awake laying in your room, but you are not. This is why stories of aliens abducting people emerged. Or demons, etc.

This actually occurs right before REM sleep. You are half awake, half dreaming.
