How does sleep paralysis work?

194 views

It’s such an odd thing to happen and it absolutely baffles me. I use to get it bad when I was younger, but not much anymore. What “conditions” need to be met for it to happen, and why do certain sleeping positions control whether we have it or not? (Most people who get SP claim to have slept on their back)

When asleep, your brain releases serotonin to help bring your body to atonement, or otherwise be paralyzed while you sleep so you’re not physically acting out your dreams. People who have an imbalance in serotonin during sleep will have conditions like, talking in their sleep, sleepwalking and sleep paralysis.
