Sleep paralysis happens when you experience REM sleep while awake. In other words, your mind wakes up while your body is still asleep, leaving your unable to move. Growing up, I went through the whole gambit of sleep paralysis experiences; I had it happen where I was still partially dreaming and wasn’t in control of my thoughts (though more often than not I am fully awake and completely in control of my thoughts), I felt the ‘evil presence’ people sometimes feel when they go through this. I felt the sensation that I couldn’t breath and that someone was pushing on my chest or grabbing my heart. However, 99% of the time, it’s just me being conscious in my body which is incapable of movement. So, what do you do if you’re stuck in this state of sleep paralysis? In this episode of Malorie’s Weird World Adventures, we’re going to talk about just that!
