Sleep Paralysis...


i thought i was pressured down by a ghost when i was sleeping last night. so scary la! i was fully conscious but unable to move. it was very frightening and i had some hallucinations. intense sense of danger and terror! i could feel that there is something touching me. tio panic la!


it was only then my friend told me that this was caused by stress. i went on to research and find out that this is sleep paralysis.


Sleep paralysis is a condition characterized by temporary paralysis of the body shortly after waking up or, less often, shortly before falling asleep. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the bodily paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully conscious, but unable to move. In addition, the state may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations which cause an acute sense of danger. Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual due to the vividness of such hallucinations.


Reasons include increased stress, sleep deprivation, sudden lifestyle change and sleeping in a face upwards. HAHA! all i have!
