In my original post I stated that 'nearly all attacks occur when the person is sleeping face-up'. Since then I have had an experience whilst sleeping on my side.

I was lying in bed, cocooned in my quilt, and it felt as though something crawled in behind me and it felt like... ever have a dog hump your leg? it was a bit like that but it was pounding on my back, butt and legs in equal measures, simultaneously, and for the first time for me, I felt I my chest was being compressed. During the paralysis I could hear a noise like helicopter blades very close to my ears. I would estimate the entire experience lasted for less than 30 seconds.

My eyes were open the whole time and I could clearly see my digital clock. The time was 4:21am.
