What Really Happens during Sleep Paralysis? I believe everyone has heard of "ghost pressing on the bed", right? ! Or has anyone personally experienced this kind of terrifying ghost experience? ! Is there really such a thing as a ghost on the bed?
The official medical name of sleep paralysis is "sleep paralysis" or "sleep paralysis", which is a type of sleep disease. There are "rapid eye movement period" and "non-rapid eye movement period" during sleep. When we are dreaming, we are in the "rapid eye movement period", and all the muscle tension in the body will be reduced to the minimum. In other words, the "body" is sleeping, but the "brain activity" is awake at this moment! So when we suddenly wake up from sleep, only the brain is aware, but the muscle tension of the whole body has not been restored. Therefore, we cannot move the body, so we feel like being pressed on the bed and unable to move. This is what we generally call ghost pressure on the bed.
Here is an interesting trivia: when the ghost is on the bed, only the eyeballs can move, so everything in the movie is real. Usually at this time, the situation can be resolved as long as the person next to you pats you! If you encounter such a situation later and no one is around, don't be nervous, try to make a sound, and take a few deep breaths to wake up the muscles of the whole body. So is there really such a thing as ghosts pressing on the bed? The answer is no!
In addition to praying to God and praying to Buddha, what you should do is to check your sleep status and living habits! There are many causes of sleep paralysis, such as staying up late, lack of sleep, abnormal work and rest, reverse day and night, high stress, alcohol, etc. Sleep paralysis is also one of the signs of "narcolepsy". If you often have drowsiness during the day and are accompanied by sleep paralysis, it is recommended to seek help from a sleep specialist for further treatment!
