Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Sleep paralysis happens when you cannot move your muscles as you are waking up or falling asleep. This is because you are in sleep mode but your brain is active. It’s not clear why sleep paralysis can happen but it has been linked with: insomnia.
Detailed explanation-3: -During sleep paralysis, the crisp dreams of REM “spill over” into waking consciousness like a dream coming alive before your eyes-fanged figures and all. These hallucinations-often involving seeing and sensing ghostly bedroom intruders-are interpreted differently around the world.
