Sleep paralysis: Why do some people suffer and others do not?

The phenomenon of sleep paralysis usually arouses a lot of interest .If you are one of the people who suffer from it or have suffered it on some occasion, more than interest causes you restlessness and the desire not to return to experience it.

Why does it happen? What determines it? It is often said that there is no experience more frightening than believing that the horrible things we see and "feel" are real, that we perceive ourselves as conscious, when in reality, we are not...or almost, because the Sleep paralysis is situated on that fine horizon between sleep and wakefulness where, as many patients would say, "they inhabit the monsters."

Let's talk about it in Mysterious, let's address the question of why there are who suffers it and who simply do not even know what the subject is about.

Causes that can determine sleep paralysis

When talking about sleep paralysis, many They relate to sleepwalking.And no, it is not the same.In this case we are not only completely immobile, unable to react to everything that threatens us.The most characteristic is the ability to see, hear, smell and feel. Sensory hallucinations that make the phenomenon very intense.

Sleep paralysis: Why do some people suffer and others do not?

Now… why do I have to suffer it and not my sister or my roommate? First of all we must clarify that each person is a case, each of us has some physiological and emotional characteristics that make it difficult to label and make a forecast of who will suffer and who will not.

Doctors are based on statistics and certain correlations that seem to be repeated in many cases. If you are deeply interested in the topic of sleep paralysis, we recommend you visit the page "The Sleep paralysis project" ., we see the excellent work that the filmmaker Carla MacKinnon is doing to understand a little more this incredible and disconcerting reality.Research, documentaries, analysis and you can find very interesting details on the subject.

Carla MacKinnon herself suffered on numerous occasions sleep paralysis .According to herself, she woke up over several weeks with immense anguish feeling that one was The evil one was with her.Scary, there is no doubt.

Let's see now what characteristics are usually repeated in people who suffer from these experiences:

Having problems related to the rest : insomnia, having a work shift that forces us to change our sleep rhythms, being very tired for several days and not getting enough sleep...

Suffering from the restless legs syndrome .We already talk about it in Mysterious, and although sometimes it's just "simple nervousness" sometimes it's related to a disease and It requires treatment.

Spend an era with a lot of stress or anxiety .It could go from having suffered some traumatic event like the loss of a relative, to simple stress from work or exams.

There are medications , such as those related to hyperactivity, which can also lead to paralysis of the I dream.

Affective problems. You may be having a hard time at home, with your partner...You feel anger, fear, anxiety...A high emotional burden that can also lead to this problem.

Times of discouragement and depression .Sometimes, it is not necessary to fall into a deep depression There are times when we are more discouraged than normal, without wanting anything, apathetic and wanting only to be with ourselves.The pattern of the dream changes and it is common that we can suffer the paralysis of the dream.

It is often said that when you experience a sleep paralysis during a night, there is a high probability that in a few days, you will return to Repeat.

Sleep paralysis: Why do some people suffer and others do not?

Some say that emotions, the shadows of our daily problems that sometimes we do not address or do not recognize as we should, can emerge in the form of authentic monsters.It is true that we do not understand why our brain likes to torture us in this way when we are more vulnerable, but it is something that happens, that is real, that is suffered and that without a doubt, more research is needed.

In fact, not long ago it was thought that they were "real" demons who attacked us. To this day, we already know that the worst demons, as Edgar Allan Poe would say, are in our own minds.
