Hence my emphasis on stress being the factor that led to sleep paralysis for me. I've had plenty of lucid dreaming that was fine. It's when my brain gets stuck on a problem that I can't resolve that it gets out of control and I feel trapped and unable to wake up.
I should have avoided generalized statements when only talking about personal experience, but I am completely convinced that external stimulus meant to keep you working would severely degrade sleep quality.
Ah I follow you. I've only had one or maybe two rare instances of sleep paralysys which were frightening. But I have had many many nights of ruminating sleep brought on by severe anxiety so I can definitely identify with what you're saying.
