what is sleep paralysis?

Let's imagine that you're about to fall asleep and started to mentally count the sheep
when suddenly, you feel pressure on your chest and a person's
presence in the room. You can't move a muscle, but you can see that you are
in the vicinity; you'll be on your feet so that your feet are in them, yes. This is sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis
is an instant alert, but do not have the same movement that may occur
as soon as you fall asleep or just waking up. 

 


It can last anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes and takes approximately 8% of
the general population. Some of the shared experiences and emotions
are associated with sleep paralysis are: to be aware of your surroundings, but it
will not be able to move around, and a sense of physical heaviness and pressure in your chest,
difficulty breathing, or shortness of breath, hallucinations, or of a kind
the presence and the overwhelming feeling of anxiety or terror. Some people describe it
hearing the sound of footsteps, and they see it to other demons or spirits, and
they feel as if they are on the verge of dying. Even though there is no physical danger of
a person experiencing sleep paralysis, and she could not get out of the

 


And it has to wait until it is all about. Sleep paralysis is different from the
nightmares of the night, in which the brain does not sleep, but the body is in a state of sleep during the night
and, therefore, it will not move. Yes, what's most interesting about sleep paralysis is that it stretches as far as the 10th century and is found in all ethnic groups. 
In fact, in many cultures, it is used for sleep paralysis to explain supernatural phenomena and entities, such as witchcraft, ghosts, and alien abduction. 
Now, let's take a closer look at what sleep paralysis is. There are two types of
sleep paralysis: hypnagogic and hypnopompic. These are two of the

 


The terms refer to the difference in the period of time when sleep paralysis occurs. 
Hypnagogia, also known as the pre-genital when sleep paralysis occurs when you have
it is the beginning of your sleep or just before going to bed. On the other hand, hypnopompic, also known as postdigital, does sleep paralysis immediately after waking up from his sleep to wake up. To
understand how sleep paralysis occurs, we need to understand the meaning of REM sleep. 
While you sleep, your brain goes through five distinct phases: Phase 1, phase 2
Stage 3, Stage 4 and stage 5, and the Rapid Eye Movement phase or REM,

 


for the short term. The REM-sleep cycle is composed of 25% of your sleep, which can occur
several times during the night as you sleep; the cycle repeats itself. BRAKE
this is important because, when sleep occurs as well as when your body is energetic. During the night, a brake signal is transmitted to the spinal cord,, and motor
neurons have to turn off the movement and create a temporary inability to move muscles, , the arms, and the legs. This can be used as a protective measure to prevent injury to yourself or others or when you are sleeping. Now that we understand REM sleep let's talk about the implications for sleep paralysis. 

 


It is believed that sleep paralysis occurs because of an error in the? Switch
host-REM sleep. It is believed that REM sleep is working as a switch between the two
stages: REM sleep, when to BRAKE, acting on, and slow down when it is not. This is the mechanism
you can easily switch to and from the REM-sleep mode. This switch works with BRAKES
in contrast to the waking-sleeping-on-off switch. Most often, the BRAKE is applied; it acts as you can sleep at night. However, when sleep paralysis occurs, the neurons in the control
of the closer side of the wake-sleep switch, and the two operate the BRAKE side of the switch, BRAKE,
is weak. This can be an obstacle to the two, to prevent the

 


Muscle and movement, while the body is at a certain level of vigilance, should not be
very, very soon. This can lead to sleep paralysis. The experience of negative emotions is
in a major incident that occurs during rem sleep. This is because in a field
of the brain known as the amygdala, which is critical for the processing of anxiety and fear and is active in
all of the REM sleep. Because it is active during REM, and
it is closely related to fear, anxiety, and it is believed to help
