I've had a few episodes of sleep paralysis. The first time I had no clue what was going on. I tried to move a few times, then thought "fuck!! on the count of 3 I'm gonna try my best to move or else I'll die here!!!!...1...2...3" and by then it had worn off, so I flew about 6" in the air and fell out of bed.
The other few times it happened I just thought "oh, this crap again. ok, I'll give it a few seconds....there, I can move. problem solved."
HSP seems somewhat different, though. I have never had any hallucinations, even though I had been in the middle of a dream a few times when I woke up and was paralyzed.
