Insomnia paired with Sleep Paralysis?

Most nights im up til 3AM, sometimes 5AM. I usually have to be awake by 7AM. You know how it goes.

As soon as I FINALLY start to get sleepy and start dozing off.. BOOM. SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON IS TRYING TO TERRORIZE ME. and then im practically terrified to sleep. This is adds to the struggle. Anyone else experiencing this at all?

I hear that sleep paralysis is more common if you have a disrupted sleep schedule.
