The person opens his eyes in the middle of sleep. He can see around. However, he cannot move any muscle in his body. It is a very stressful situation that causes discomfort and suffering to the person. The person may experience some hallucinations, some things or people in the room that are not actually there.” used the phrases.
NARCOLEPSIA PATIENTS EXPERIENCE SLEEP PALACE FREQUENTLY
Saying that sleep paralysis is actually not a very dangerous situation, although it is an inconvenience to the person, Prof. Dr. Barış Metin said, “It will go away on its own in a while. It is more common in patients with narcolepsy. In other words, there are patients who sleep excessively outside of daytime control. Patients with narcolepsy often experience sleep paralysis at night. However, with the exception of people with narcolepsy, everyone can experience sleep paralysis from time to time.
Experiencing sleep paralysis, especially during very stressful and tired periods, does not necessarily indicate that the person has a serious illness. In rare cases, no treatment is needed. However, if sleep paralysis is experienced frequently, a sleep disorder specialist should be consulted.” said.
