This is a very natural way to restore the sleep control.Start doing it everyday and come back to report how you feel, as it will help so many others.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after 1 minute.
Anulom Vilom - Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep breaths into the lungs.

I really dont think thats sleep paralysis. from what i understand sleep paralysis is, in lamens terms, as follows: the part of your brain that controls consciousness wakes up before the part that controls movement. you shouldnt be able to walk around with sleep paralysis. if you cant talk in the morning, even after showering, it either means youre not a morning person or youve got something else entirely.
why do my sp last an hour or more after i have been up walking about even had a bath no speech no movement stroke damage to brain so when i have sp it takes along time to pull myself back even have to walk with a stick
It is interesting that you posted this! I had a stroke in my late teens as well, and I also have sleep paralysis. I never though of the two things as being related, but maybe they are.
As far as I know sleep paralysis is not dangerous and is caused by an overproduction of a hormone. (An underproduction of the hormone results in sleep walking because people's muscles are not paralyzed so they act out their dreams)
Sleep paralysis isn't related to stroke in most people.
Here's a neurologist here at MedHelp who explains it:

Sleep paralysis isn't related to seizures either.
