One thing that works for me is prayer.
I have a prayer that I say that helps me feel powerful and in control. It also helps me relax my mind, calm my body, and therefore, I can wake myself up.
I have experienced SP for many years now, and still do now. I live with it and I am not afraid of sleep any more. I discovered this prayer all on my own, but normally, the prayers that work have to do with faith and love. A very strong enduring love... and I can normally break free within a few seconds.
See if you can try prayer if you just want to cope with it and not explore further.
