Some people have a sleep disorder when they sleep: they are half asleep and half awake, and they have various hallucinations at the same time, and they can even hear the surrounding sounds. But strangely, no matter how hard they try, they can't exert themselves, and they can't make a sound if they want to shout. They want to open their eyes or turn over and get up, but they can't move.
After struggling for a few minutes, I finally wake up, and people will feel very tired, sometimes even sweating all over.
This strange sleep disorder is commonly known as "ghost pressing the bed" or "ghost pressing the body" in the folk, which may occur during lunch break and night sleep.
In fact, this situation has nothing to do with ghosts at all, but there is a formal scientific name in medicine: sleep paralysis.
According to hospital cardiovascular experts, it usually happens when we just fall asleep or are about to wake up, because our sleep cycle is from falling asleep, shallow sleep, deep sleep, and finally into the dream period of rapid eye movement.
If the rapid eye movement period appears early, it will lead to sleep paralysis, because at this time, the human body is at rest, and the brain consciousness is awake from rest, which leads to a state of half sleeping and half waking.
Dreams and reality are intertwined, resulting in the inability of the body and brain to coordinate.
That is to say, the body doesn't listen to the command of the brain, because the muscles of the whole body are in the lowest state of tension at this time, so it will cause the situation that you want to move but can't move, but you want to exert yourself but can't contribute.
Experts told me that in fact, sleep paralysis is not uncommon, and it will happen to people of any age. But it can be regarded as a normal physiological phenomenon, and it will not have any adverse effects on health, so don't worry too much.
Nevertheless, the emergence of sleep paralysis still reflects some noteworthy information.
According to experts, generally speaking, when people are under great pressure, they will have extreme fatigue, abnormal work and rest patterns, mental tension, insomnia, anxiety and so on. Sleep is easy to enter the rapid eye movement stage, that is, the dream stage, and sleep paralysis occurs.
Experts suggest that if you want to reduce the chance of sleep paralysis and get high-quality sleep, don't let yourself be too tired, don't stay up late, keep a normal life and rest, and pay attention to maintaining an optimistic, cheerful and relaxed mood.
