For recurrent sleep paralysis, I've experienced this in the past more in higher frequency given the following:
Unnaturally disrupted sleep relative to previous sleep patterns. For example, I set my alarm clock to wake me up in intervals of two hours, this was occurring otherwise at a time when I were to sleep for a full sleep schedule. It seemed relative to any other time prior I had these sorts of experiences. While I couldn't directly attribute this to the direct onset of the alarm clock, for instance, as in hearing the noise of the clock mentally being awake while physically suffering. Often times what I found instead were that I were either imagining myself awake, or feeling mentally awake (as in the recurrent dream of waking up yourself but then somehow feeling that you aren't awake and the dream repeating itself), but I couldn't move my body (as in paralysis) and when attempting to move a limb (as in thinking it), I'd feel the sensation not unlike being electrically shocked. I hadn't intended to sleep in these sorts of odd sleep intervals, but because of circumstances, inadequate parking access in a urban neighborhood that were metered during the day time coupled with second shift work (I just started back then a job too), I then went to set the alarm clock so that I could wake up to feed parking meters change. Thus in my anecdotal experience having a regular solid sleep schedule is important. Even if you are at times a bit more erratic on sleep, it may be better that this isn't acoustically or physically disrupted in some unnatural way. Also trying to keep environmental stresses down help, and reduction if not abstinence from stimulants usage or control and monitoring of these may help...wise to consult a doctor I'd imagine here if yours is severe.
I've experienced some of the others at times, but sleep paralysis probably ranks the top as the scarier of ones.
To my understanding, naturally the body produces, during certain periods of sleep, inhibitors which literally physically paralyze aspects of nervous system/muscular movements to prevent things like sleep walking or at least inhibiting movements...probably a evolutionary trait so as to prevent someone sleeping from injuring themselves...sleepwalkers on the other hand may have deficiencies in these sorts of movement inhibitors released during a normal sleep schedule.
