In this video, we break down:
What sleep paralysis actually is
Why the brain wakes up before the body
How REM sleep, dreaming, and muscle paralysis interact
Why hallucinations during sleep paralysis feel so real
Common triggers like stress, sleep deprivation, and irregular sleep schedules
How understanding the science can reduce fear and anxiety around episodes
