What is sleep paralysis?
Sleep paralysis usually occurs when falling asleep or waking up. The body is still "paralyzed" as it is during REM sleep, but the mind is already awake. This delay causes a very impressive feeling of being stuck.
Why is this phenomenon so frightening?
- The inability to move or speak creates a feeling of panic.
- Auditory or visual hallucinations (shadows, presences, noises) add a distressing dimension.
- Lack of understanding fuels fear that it will happen again.
Can we free ourselves from it?
Yes. Sleep paralysis isn't inherently dangerous, but it can significantly disrupt sleep quality and increase anxiety. With the right tools, it's possible to reduce the frequency of episodes and experience them much more peacefully.
This is where our expert guide becomes indispensable: by combining scientific explanations and practical advice, it offers a clear method for regaining control.
