what actually happens inside your body when your in a sleep paralysis
In: 6
When we enter the “dream” phase during sleep, our body switches off the connection between brain signals and muscles in the spinal chord. During sleep paralysis the body fails to switch it back on quickly enough when we start regaining consciousness while waking up, so it feels like we’re paralyzed.
It’s a little like switching from speakers to headphones at night so you don’t annoy your roommates at 2am in the morning. Then you go to sleep and forget about it.
When you wake up the next morning and try to play a video it has no sound. Confused you try to change the volume … you panic and think your sound is broken.
Until you realize that you have to connect the speakers.
