How can I induce sleep paralysis?

drugs (weed, benadryl, vicodin) sometimes cause my sleep paralysis. a lot of stress can also cause it. focusing on sleep paralysis or shadow people/distorted faces while trying to sleep also makes it happen to me.

but man if youre just tryin to get some spooks, sleep paralysis is not a fun way to do it. you dont know youre safe when its happening. some people even feel severe pain during sleep paralysis

>Set alarm for six hours and go to sleep
>alarm goes off, get out of bed and stay awake for about 20 minutes or so
>Go back to sleep for another two hours, setting more alarms if you want. If you did it right, you won't be able to go back to a deep sleep.
OR
Just set multiple alarms, the first after a few hours and set more to keep waking you up so you kinda hang in very light sleep mode and it should be easier
OR
>Lie on your back, let your mind empty
>Lie still for as long as it takes (could be thirty minutes to an hour) and don't move a muscle
>Your body will test you to see if you're awake by giving you an itch or feeling of discomfort
>Ignore this, resist urge to sleep
This one is hard as fuck for me but it can work. If you manage to do it, try lifting out of your body and you will have an out of body experience and that will unlock a world of new shit that most of the retards on /x/ aren't even ready for. Read up on Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe.

Lay down, face up, look at the ceiling until you feel like sleeping, dont try to sleep, just let the sleepness come be itself, try to remain aware

you will begin having very short lapses of sleep and wake up, like seconds.

then you will not be able to move, and there you are, buckle up

i tend to encounter it after going cold turkey after binge drinking for a few days.

dehydration seems to do it for me, that and not drinking lots of booze before bed

drink everyday usually

Its simple; Have a irregular sleep pattern and lay on your back.

I get sleep paralysis about twice a week, as I work 12h shifts on weekends which messes up my rhythm. I also have a hereditary
affinity for it, my mother used to get SP and OBE when younger.
