Wake Up From Sleep Paralysis Or Sleep Under Satan
Hi steemian.
You know that in this modern world can not stop us from sleep paralysis, usually when we wake up can not move, shortness of breath, like there is something that strangle our neck, it feels like somebody is crushing us. At the time of experiencing this we will usually be very difficult to move, and then there is a little cold feeling spread from the tip of the foot to the whole body.
To be able to wake up, the only way is to move the tip of the foot, the tip of the hand, or the head as fast as the whole body can be moved again, usually accompanied also by the appearance of dark shadow. This is what is assumed to "crush" the spirits by some people.
Understanding Sleep Paralysis
According to the medical, the situation when people will sleep, or wake up feeling asphyxiated like choked, chest tightness, difficulty moving body and difficult to shout called sleep paralysis aka sleep paralysis (because the body can not move and seemed paralyzed).
Almost everyone has experienced this. Sleep paralysis can be experienced by anyone, male or female. And the average age of people first experience this sleep disorder is 14-17 years. Sleep paralysis aka this squeeze can indeed take place in seconds up to minutes. Interestingly, when the sequence occurs we often experience hallucinations, such as seeing a figure or black shadow around the bed. No wonder, this phenomenon is often associated with mystical things.
Factors people experience.
1. Sleep deprivation
According to Al Cheyne, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, sleep paralysis, is a type of hallucinations due to sleeping malfunction in the stage of rapid eye movement (REM). As knowledge, based on brain waves, sleep is divided into 4 stages. That stage is the lightest sleep stage (we are still semi-conscious), deeper sleep stage, deepest sleep and REM stage.
2. Stress is heavy
In addition, sleep paralysis can also be caused by something that can not be controlled. As a result, it appears stressful and carried into the dream. Work environment also took effect. For example, you work in a shift so that it lacks sleep or has an irregular sleep pattern. Although uncommon, this sleep disorder should be wary. The reason, sleep paralysis can also be a sign of narcolepsy (sleep attacks suddenly without any signs of sleepiness), sleep apnea (snoring), anxiety, or depression.
3. Sleeping position
Also note, sleep paralysis is commonly experienced by people who sleep in supine positions (face up and almost soundly or in a state of almost awake from sleep). That is why, we need to frequently change the sleeping position to reduce the risk of this sleep disorder.
many ways that we avoid such a horrible thing, for example in Islam we are encouraged to read prayers so that God keeps us from satan. and I usually hide my thumbs while I'm sleeping because I'm sure the satan does not have a thumb.
