Sleep paralysis is the inability to move or speak while you are awake, so the brain is awake, but the body is not yet. Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon that occurs when you fall asleep or when you just wake up. According to recent studies, sleep paralysis affects a large part of people and those who have experienced it, show it as a terrible experience in their life, which can last from a few seconds to a few minutes.
Everyone can experience sleep paralysis and there is nothing wrong with it, but if it becomes common, help from a psychologist should be sought. Stress is the main factor that causes paralysis, studies say, and it can lead to daily paralysis.
