What is sleep paralysis?

It is just a temporary glitch where your brain's sleep stages overlap. Your mind is awake, but your body is still in REM sleep paralysis mode. No need to freak out, it is medically harmless and passes within a minute.

I used to panic so much and think my house was haunted when this happened to me! Later, I read about it and realized it's completely normal. Now, if it happens, I just stay calm, breathe slowly, and it passes quickly.

My grandmother used to say it happens due to sleeping in the wrong direction, but our family doctor clarified it is just a sleep transition issue. It is completely safe. Just maintain regular sleeping hours to prevent it.

Dude, it's the creepiest feeling ever. You are awake but frozen like a statue. It usually happens to me when I sleep flat on my back or when I am extremely tired. Sleeping on my side fixed it for me.

It's just your body hitting the pause button! Your brain wakes up before your muscles do. Don't worry, it is super common and nothing to be scared of. Just take a deep breath and relax.
