Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakens before the body during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage associated with vivid dreaming. Normally, REM sleep triggers temporary paralysis to prevent physically acting out dreams. When the brain wakes early, the body remains paralyzed, producing the terrifying sensation of being “stuck” between sleep and wakefulness.
The experience can happen just as you’re falling asleep or waking up and is often accompanied by vivid hallucinations. People may see shadowy figures, hear strange sounds, or feel a pressing weight, leading to myths and cultural stories about supernatural encounters. Despite these dramatic experiences, the condition has a clear biological explanation.
Certain factors can increase the likelihood of sleep paralysis, including sleep deprivation, irregular schedules, stress, anxiety, depression, and other sleep disorders such as insomnia or narcolepsy. Even a single night of poor sleep can trigger an episode, making awareness and prevention strategies important.
