"this was a nightmarish experience for me. i ran out of my regular temazepam and forgot to pick it up at the pharmacy, so i popped a 20mg belsomra that my md gave me a free sample of. about an hour into the drug, i started feeling very dizzy and my head felt so heavy, and i immediately felt this strong urge to knock out and fall into a deep slumber, so i went to my bed and started falling asleep. however, i started experiencing major sleep paralysis - it felt like it lasted for a long time, and my body just couldn&#039;t move even though my mind was fully aware and conscious of what was happening. 



later on during the night, i kept falling asleep and waking up sporadically. by this morning, i was beat and vowed never to take this again."
