O que é Paralisia do Sono? | Dr. Tontura

SLEEP PARALYSIS WHEN WE ARE SLEEPING, OUR BRAIN AND BODY ACTUALLY REST. BUT OUR MINDS ARE RUNNING IN UNCONSCIOUS MODE – DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES ARE HAPPENING EVERY MOMENT. EVEN IF WE ONLY REMEMBER ONE DREAM, THE BRAIN DOESN'T STOP WHILE WE SLEEP. HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED IF ALL THE MOVEMENTS WE MAKE IN DREAMS ACTUALLY HAPPEN WHILE WE SLEEP? WE WOULD MOVE CONSTANTLY IN BED AND EVEN WALK AROUND WHILE WE SLEEP – THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS AND WE COULD HURT OURSELVES WHILE WE SLEEP. TO PREVENT THIS, OUR MOVEMENTS ARE TURNED OFF WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP – SO WE SLEEP WITHOUT THEATRICALIZED OUR DREAMS. WE MOVE VERY LITTLE WHILE WE ARE SLEEPING. WELL, WHEN WE WAKE UP, CONSCIOUSNESS SWITCHES ON AND OUR MOVEMENTS ARE REACTIVATED. WE ARE AWARE AND MOVE AS OUR BRAIN COMMANDS. NOW IMAGINE WAKING UP AND YOUR BODY DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL – IT BECOMES PARALYZED. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN SLEEP PARALYSIS – IT'S AS IF CONSCIOUSNESS SWITCHES ON (YOU WAKE UP), BUT IT TAKES A WHILE FOR YOUR BODY TO SWITCH BACK ON. YOU ARE PARALYZED, WITH YOUR EYES OPEN. DESPERATE, ISN'T IT? SOME PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN OPEN THEIR EYES, BUT THEY'RE AWAKE, UNABLE TO MOVE. LUCKFULLY, SLEEP PARALYSIS USUALLY LASTS FOR A SHORT TIME (SECONDS TO MINUTES, ON AVERAGE AROUND 60 SECONDS) – GRADUALLY, THE BODY STARTS MOVING AGAIN AND EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. (IT'S AS IF THE BRAIN TAKES A LONG TIME TO RETURN THE BODY'S MOVEMENT) BUT THIS SHORT TIME CAN BE VERY SCARY AND FEEL LIKE AN ETERNITY – IT CAUSES ANGUISH, FEAR, AND TERROR.
