First off: don't panic
Sleep paralysis occurs during the final sleep stage : the REM sleep stage. “In REM sleep we are essentially paralyzed, except for breathing and eye movements,” explains Murray. “Sleep paralysis is the phenomenon where the cortex is active, but the motor system is inactive.” So basically, it’s when you wake up fully conscious but unable to move; one system wakes before the other, instead of getting up in unison.
In my case my limbs are rendered useless, eyes are glued shut and my brain can’t help but focus on my very shallow breathing…. which, in turn, leads me to believe I’m gasping for air or I can’t breathe. While episodes may feel like they go on forever, Murray says they generally last between 1 to 2 minutes. “It might often feel longer as it can be frightening,” he says.The causes of sleep paralysis vary from person to person, but a lack of sleep, for one, can be the culprit, says Murray.
