Detailed explanation-1: -Nerve pathways in the brain that prevent muscles from moving are active during normal REM or dreaming sleep, resulting in temporary paralysis of your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -As you cycle into REM sleep, the eyes move rapidly behind closed lids, and brain waves are similar to those during wakefulness. Breath rate increases and the body becomes temporarily paralyzed as we dream.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does sleep paralysis happen? During the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage, you’re likely to have dreams. The brain prevents muscles in your limbs from moving to protect yourself from acting dreams out and hurting yourself. Sleep paralysis happens when you regain awareness going into or coming out of REM.
Detailed explanation-4: -During REM, the brain is very active, and dreams are at their most intense. But the voluntary muscles of the body-arms, legs, fingers, anything that is under conscious control-are paralyzed.
Detailed explanation-5: -PATHOGENESIS-Physiologically, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is associated with skeletal muscle atonia, producing paralysis. This confers a protective measure, preventing people from acting what they dream in the setting of dream mentation.
