If it’s never happened to you before, I wouldn’t be too concerned about it happening, again.
I’m pretty notorious for it, have to remove everything that can be used as a weapon (including lamps, curtains, alarm clocks, furniture, bedding) from within about a 10’ circle when I’m in certain kinds of nightmare cycles. Even so, I’ve still broken my hands on walls, and physically assaulted people who don’t listen and try to wake me up ‘Nicely’ or by shouting at me, instead of kicking my feet. As soon as I’m awake-awake I’m fine, reality snaps into place zip-zip, but whilst still asleep? I’m dangerous to be too close to when I’m having a nightmare. Unless, apparently, you’re a kid or an animal. No idea why that is. But I’ve been set on in a hundred different ways by kids, horses, dogs, and cats in my sleep... and I just go still and wake up. No matter what I was dreaming about. Lizard brain stuff, maybe. ? Different pheromones? IDFK.
Point being? If acting out your nightmares isn’t a regular thing for you? (And you’ve been doing this long enough to know). A little break in sleep paralysis isn’t something I’d worry about. Happens to everyone from time to time , just very rarely / about as often as going to the bathroom in a dream, and waking up YIKES! To the bathroom! (Run, Forest! Run!)
UNLESS you’ve just started on new meds. In which case, I suggest you sleep on the couch, for awhile. Because meds can f*ck up people’s normal sleep patterns. In big ways. Usually temporarilly, but sometimes for as long as you’re on the med.
