Sleep paralysis

Folk superstitions about ‘sleep paralysis’

Many people think that a demon named Boba sits on his chest in his sleep and presses his nose and mouth, as a result of which he stops breathing and even if he opens his eyes, the affected person cannot speak. Many also say that even if the ghost is pushed, it cannot be removed. This is what they call ‘dumb catch’. However, this is not a scientific term. The scientific term for catching a dumb is ‘sleep paralysis’. In fact, the word ‘dumb’ comes from folklore superstition.

What is ‘sleep paralysis’?

‘Sleep paralysis’ is when a person loses speech and mobility for a very short period of time and cannot move, hence it is called ‘sleep paralysis’. ‘Sleep paralysis’ is just a sensory, emotional thing. This is when the body moves from one stage of deep sleep to another.

‘Sleep paralysis’ is an individual experience. Some feel the presence of ghosts in the house, some smell bad, some see terrible animals. In short, a hallucination-like situation arises. When the brain wakes up and goes from one stage of deep sleep to another, the body actually stays asleep. As a result, the experience is different. People see strange things and feel short of breath, especially when the senses are occupied. Generally, those who have trouble sleeping are more likely to suffer from sleep paralysis.

Many believe that something very miraculous happened. In fact, it is simply a matter of physiology. Nothing else.
