00:00Oh, what's wrong little kitty?

00:15Bad doggie!

00:18Oh, I understand.

00:21It wasn't a bad dog, but a bad experience of sleep paralysis.

00:28Sleep paralysis, little kitty.

00:35A condition everyone should learn about.

00:38So friends, let's zoom in.

00:43So, what is this scary phenomenon called sleep paralysis?

00:49Well, in simple terms, it is a temporary inability to move or speak

00:56or a loss of muscle control while falling asleep or upon waking up.

01:03This loss of muscle control is also known as Atonia

01:09and is a normal part of the sleep cycle during REM sleep when most dreams occur.

01:19It happens because you are in sleep mode and your body is relaxed but your brain is active.

01:28No matter how much you try, even if you consciously know that you are undergoing sleep paralysis,

01:37you can't wake your body up.

01:40A very few people can slightly move their fingers and wiggle their toes or facial muscles,

01:47which eventually helps them wake up the rest of their body.

01:52But, as we discussed, most people have to wait for the episode to end on its own.

02:02I know it sounds scary, but you will be surprised to learn that sleep paralysis can be helpful at times.

02:11Yes, my dear friends.

02:13Sleep paralysis is necessary to stop your muscles from responding to dreams

02:20and keeps you safe in bed until you wake up.

02:24Without it, there is a chance that during a nightmare,

02:28you might start kicking and punching around,

02:31eventually harming yourself or others.

02:36Though sleep paralysis is harmless to most,

02:40those who have encountered it have had terrifying experiences

02:45due to the unsettling nature of this condition.

02:49Yes, most people with this condition also have hallucinations,

02:55which are sensory experiences that appear real but are created by your mind.

03:03This can include out-of-body experiences like the feeling of flying.

03:09People may also feel pressure in their chest.

03:13Perhaps the scariest form of these hallucinations

03:17involves the presence of danger or someone around you,

03:22where in reality there is nothing to be afraid of.

03:26But the vital question is,

03:29what causes sleep paralysis?

03:33Well, many factors can contribute to it,

03:37including poor sleeping habits and certain medical conditions,

03:42such as insomnia, PTSD, panic disorder and sleep apnea.

03:49People suffering from depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder

03:55are more likely to experience this.

03:59Although anyone at any age can get it once or twice in their life.

04:05However, it usually starts between the ages of 14 and 17.

04:12But how can we prevent sleep paralysis in the first place?

04:18Well, if someone doesn't have any underlying issue responsible for this condition,

04:27then making minor lifestyle adjustments can make a big difference

04:32to avoid this momentary paralyzing condition.

04:36This includes getting around six to eight hours of sleep a day regularly.

04:44Make sure to go to bed at roughly the same time each night

04:50and get up at the same time each morning.

04:54Playing outdoor sports or exercising and meditating every day.

05:00And if things don't improve,

05:04please make sure to talk to your guardians and visit your doctor ASAP.

05:10Trivia time!

05:12Did you know a sleep paralysis episode can last between 20 seconds to a few minutes?

05:20Also, an estimated 75% of sleep paralysis episodes involve hallucinations

05:30that are different from typical dreams.

05:34Hope you learned something new today.

05:37Until next time, it's me, Dr. Binox, zooming out!

05:43Giddy smash! Bad doggy!

05:51Aw, never mind!
