That Moment When You Wake Up And You Can't Move, It's Not An Attack by kirchofff(m): 11:49pm On Jul 02, 2016
I know we've all experienced Sleep paralysis(the moment u just woke up and u can't move) at a point in our lives, some people even experience it more than twice a week.
I know so many people think it's a spiritual attack, but let me say it's not.
Sleep paralysis is caused when parts of the rapid
eye movement (REM) state of sleep persist or
intrude into wakefulness, This means that you remain temporarily paralyzed,
but are fully conscious.
RME(rapid eye movement) sleep
Sleep occurs in cycles and each cycle is split into two
phases – REM sleep and non-REM sleep.
The brain is very active in REM sleep and most
dreams occur during this stage. The body is
paralysed, apart from the movement of the eyes and
diaphragm (the muscle used in breathing). The
paralysis is thought to occur to prevent you acting
out the actions in your dreams and potentially
causing injury.
Sleep paralysis occurs when the normal muscular
paralysis of REM sleep temporarily continues after
you've woken up.

So come and share your experiences and how u overcome it whenever it happens

Yup, thank God for knowledge, I've stopped thinking the devil was attacking me all those times I'd sleep and not be able to move or hear myself speak when I wanted to.

Moments when you read and learn about sleep paralysis must be like the moments when our ancestors realised it was okay to keep twin babies.

Ignorance na bastard!!!!

This has happened to me on three occasions or so. The last one was so real. Looked like some dirty demons were trying to tie me to d bed even after gaining some level of consciousness. It was not until I shouted d blood of Jesus I gained myself. Sometimes these things go beyond sleep paralysis alone especially when u've lately been involved in tarot readings, horoscope and pornography too.

If u're prone to sleep paralysis, avoid reading nonfiction at sleep time. Otherwise u will be contemplating over the ideas throughout ur sleep.
Instead, read fiction, especially if u're someone who spend hours in bed worrying about things. This will activate the right-side of the brain and helps u to switch off the analytical hyperactive left-side of the brain
Re: That Moment When You Wake Up And You Can't Move, It's Not An Attack by Nobody: 4:45am On Jul 03, 2016
Sleep paralysis has a lot to do with the chemistry of the brain. It usually occurs when the Melatonin in the brain is very high which aids us in remaining in very deep relaxed state, inducing sleep. While, at the same time, the cortisol levels in the brain is also high enough to hinder us from easily falling asleep.
Then REM atonia sets in to disable the stimulation of motor neurons so that the body will not be acting out what we are dreaming. The brainwave pattern may be predominantly at the deep theta level.


To pull out of sleep paralysis, simply concentrate on moving a single big toe. Or try rubbing the fingers and thumbs of each hand together, taking a couple of deep breaths, then stretching and moving the body slightly.
