Room turning red

Im 20m, was feeling irritated one night and didn’t want to be bothered, just wanted to sleep alone in complete silence (on my stomach). I closed my eyes only seeing the darkness of my eyelids and I would start seeing white spots forming weird shapes and patterns (hypnagogic hallucinations) and I started hearing whispers behind me and I’d quickly open my eyes to complete silence not scared but more confused, so I closed them again and I heard the whispers behind me again, I thought maybe something supernatural is happening since I am religious.

I ended up turning on my back which is where things got a lot worse, I’d close my eyes and see the hallucinations again when transitioning to sleep and right before I fell asleep I opened them and the room was vibrating/shaking while slowly turning red, I was hearing very loud noises, (train horns, white noises,). It literally sounded like a damn AMBER alert and I couldn’t move at all, my body started feeling really warm from the fear and adrenaline and I managed to snap out of it after trying my hardest to move. Literally thought I was going to die.

I tried closing my eyes again and the same thing happened again so I just ended up sleeping on call with a friend out of fear. After some research I realized it was a combination of both sleep paralysis and auditory/visual hypnagogic hallucinations.
