Sleep Paralysis: When Your Mind Traps You
Have you ever felt a heavy weight on your chest, unable to move? Perhaps you've been through sleep paralysis. This terrifying phenomenon occurs when your mind wakes up before your body, leaving you knowing but unable to move. It can be a deeply unsettling experience, often accompanied by fantastical visions.
During sleep paralysis, your body is in a state of REM sleep, the stage associated with dreaming. Normally, our muscles are paralyzed during this stage to prevent us from moving our dreams. However, in sleep paralysis, this paralysis continues even when we become conscious. This can lead to a feeling of being trapped and powerless. The feeling can be so intense that it can trigger panic attacks.
While sleep paralysis is not dangerous, it can be a recurring problem for some people. Stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation are often connected to episodes of sleep paralysis. If you go through frequent or disturbing episodes, it's important to seek advice from a healthcare professional.

As I grasped the cold metal doorknob, a feeling of unbearable dread washed over me. I faltered, for a moment, but the compelling force of the door was too strong to resist.
