When I'm falling alseep, I sometimes experience CSP. I'll suddenly be unable to move unless I focus all of my energy on moving one limb and waking up. As I start to drift off to sleep, I hear a buzzing or static-like hissing sound, and sometimes even the sound of a crowded room full of people talking. As my eyes close, I suddenly have the sensation of being yanked out of my bed and moving forward at a very high speed; this lasts for a few seconds, then I feel like I'm slammed back into my body, sometimes hard enough that I bounce. I assume that the bounce is caused by invoulntary muscle contractions as I wake up.
As for hallucinations, A few weeks ago, I was feeling the same as I usually do when I have sleep paralysis, but as I started to drift off to sleep, my throat would contract and I would have trouble breathing. It continued for about 45 minutes, and each time I would wake myself up fully, and after a while, I just gave up on falling asleep normally and got up.
