Detailed explanation-1: -Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is called paradoxical sleep because it involves seemingly contradictory states of an active mind and a sleeping body. The term paradoxical sleep was coined by the French researcher Dr. Michel Jouvet.
Detailed explanation-2: -What Defines Paradoxical Sleep? The paradox is that even though the brain is quite active during REM sleep, consuming large amounts of energy, the body remains completely inactive.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you enter REM sleep, brain activity increases again, meaning sleep is not as deep. The activity levels are like when you’re awake. That’s why REM sleep is the stage where you’ll have intense dreams. At the same time, major muscles that you normally control (such as arms and legs) can’t move.
Detailed explanation-4: -During REM sleep, your body is relaxed and your muscles don’t move. Sleep paralysis occurs when the sleep cycle is shifting between stages. When you wake up suddenly from REM, your brain is awake, but your body is still in REM mode and can’t move, causing you to feel like you’re paralyzed.
