Monologue Quickie 2

Being a sleep paralysis demon is hard ya know?

With all the technicalities of sleep paralysis, it's honestly hard to get a good meal.

First you have to deal with people waking when you're getting close. Like come on, I could be friendly! Or at least stay for like two more seconds. Having you soul sucked out or spirit drained doesn't hurt. You'll be fine.

Second is it the rarity of it all! Sleep paralysis is rare phenomenon that occurs only when one sleeps, usually night, and there are several causes of sleep paralysis!

These are sleep deprivation, a changing sleep schedule, sleeping on your back, the use of certain medications, stress, and other sleep-related problems, such as narcolepsy. For a bigger emphasis around 7.6 percent of the world's population has had at least one attack of sleep paralysis. So that basically means I have to fight other demons to get that 7.6 percent. Sure there could be more, but that's probably very accurate!

And yes, sometimes I will use my victims' computers before they go into sleep paralysis. It's honestly not that when they fall asleep on the computer desk. Happened couple times.

Anyway, back to what's important here. It's even more of a rarity for one to have continual sleep paralysis if you have the contributing causes or not.

Then again, you might be attached to a paralysis demon or something along that line. Or maybe you live a terrible or stressful life. Hey, maybe giving it to me would solve all your problems or better yet relieve you with stress! It's a fair trade off! Really! Your problems are solved while I get a decent deal.

Also, back to the part of soul sucking and spirit draining, that can be TIRESOMEEEE. Especially if someone is reluctant or determined or have a pretty strong soul in general. Which is why when someone does present me with my delightful food, it brings such joy and relief. Then again, that's why lonely depressed people are the most delicious when they relinquish their soul. However that starts a whole cat fight between other SP demons so not really the best option unless you want to die in the most painful way possible, starving and ripped apart.

Of course, I could just stir up some nightmares and false warnings, but that's pretty difficult without fuel.

Welp, this is the end of my rant. Thank you, very much for listening. And for your information, my name is Sid. I am a formal demon of sleep paralysis. And if your listening, I'm starving and since you seem willing to listen then I think you're willing to let me take your soul, right? R i g h t.
