Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis is a brief period of paralysis that occurs when a person is waking up or falling asleep. During this paralysis, the individual is usually aware of their surroundings and is unable to move or speak. Sleep paralysis can affect anyone but is more common in people with other sleep disorders. In some cases it is associated with hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations. Treatments for sleep paralysis include cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication. It is important to know about sleep paralysis for those who experience it, as it can cause significant distress and anxiety. By understanding its causes and treatment options, it can be managed in order to improve sleep quality and reduce stress.
