Paralisis del sueño

Sleep paralysis is a disorder that involves the inability to move and talk when you go from sleep to wakefulness. A fairly common episode that usually causes some distress to those who suffer from it, as it is usually accompanied by hallucinations. At times, brain and body become uncoordinated, and hence we regain consciousness before body mobility

WHY DOES SLEEP PARALYSIS OCCUR?
causes an individual may develop sleep paralysis include:

1. Associated with another pathology: Sleep paralysis may be a symptom of another disease. The most common is narcolepsy, a disease for which you have difficulty staying awake during the day. These patients very often have cataplegia attacks (muscle paralysis), sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations.


2.Isolated cause related to severe sleep deprivation: Second, sleep paralysis affects healthy subjects who are subjected to severe sleep deprivation.


3. Cause of family type: The cause of hereditary type is the least common. It occurs when several family members have sleep paralysis as a single symptom.

In order to make a diagnosis, it will first be necessary to rule out that the patient suffers from narcolepsy. Research will then be done on how much sleep or how much the patient needs to sleep and, where appropriate, determine if there is a sleep deficit.

If these two circumstances do not occur, we will have to think about whether there are more cases in the family and therefore presents as a single symptom.

For therefore, if sleep paralysis appears as an isolated symptom it is not more important and is not usually ne


The key is to rest
The stress or jet lag are situations that commonly trigger episodes of sleep paralysis. This is true, to the extent that less sleep falls into sleep deprivation and this disorder can occur as a sleep symptom.
Keeping sleep schedules stable, sleeping at least seven and a half hours each day, avoiding shift work, enlotrating or avoiding taking drugs that influence REM sleep (such as antidepressants), will help us be less predisposed to paralysis of the dream.

Are there health risks?
No, "sleep paralysis poses no health risk," says García-Borreguero. The duration of these episodes is brief and does not imply the paralysis of any muscle tissue necessary for vital functions.
