The Torturous Angst of Sleep Paralysis | Phenomena E4S3

from Phenomena · host Phenomena Podcast

Imagine knowing, with your entire being, that something is in the room watching you but you realize you can't move to look at it or dispell it from your room? When you finally manage to move your fingers after agonizing minutes that feel like hours of paralysis, you can't catch a wink of sleep until dawn. The phenomenon of sleep paralysis has been haunting our bedsides since as early as the 10th century, and it doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. Some experience it once or twice, while others are plagued by it, unable to get good rest. And without good rest, the hallucinations can get worse and worse, perpetuating a never-ending cycle of madness. Join us as we discuss the theories that cause sleep paralysis and share some helpful tips to help get you back to sleeping through the night.
