Someone posted a question on this board on how to induce sleep paralysis. I answered his/her question by stating that I believed that Melatonin may induce SP. I stated that, in the past, I had SP episodes after taking Melatonin. Well, I decided to try it again -- and sure enough, I had an SP episode. (I don't have SP episodes that frequenty anymore, perhaps once every four months.) Well, this afternoon, I took two more capsules of Melatonin (6 mg), and SP occured *again* while I attempted to take a quick cat nap on a break. Has anyone done some serious resource on the link between Melatonin and SP? Perhaps, it is just a psychological predisposition that is linking the Melatonin with my SP episodes recently, but I feel as it could definetly be a chemical/physical link. Thanks.
