I also leave a light on so I can see in the dark if I'm awakened by some strange noise out doors. I have few neighbors. I live in the forest.
BTW, I had something similar to sleep paralysis once in the 90s. It was after I took a mind development course that I think the CIA was involved with. Happened a long time ago,but its hard to forget.
As far as sleep goes, mine is erratic. I wake, whenever I do sleep, almost every two hours.
How was the mind development course?
I was really good at it. One of the things they had us do was program our dreams. You would tell yourself you wanted to remember your dreams before bed. Then, you would have a pen and paper next to you before you slept so you could record your dreams. Long story, but I had something very odd happen to me when recording a dream. BTW, three of the instructors won the lottery programming their dreams.
They also had us intuitively diagnose people's health problems we didn't know. Then, they had us try to cure them with our minds. I was very good at diagnosing people.
I was in my 20s back then. I was naive. One of the male instructors wanted to come to my home and do NLP on me. NLP is neurolinguistic programming. I invited him to my home. Afterwards, i had some very odd experiences at my home when the course ended. These experiences didnt seem quite paranormal, but instead they seemed more technology based.
There's more though...
