Is sleep paralysis real or a people just being lazy? 🤔

Waking up paralysed would be a great excuse to be late for work.

I thought only little kids got scared of dreams.

Ever experienced a dream while also awake? Hallucinations can be pretty scary.

I don't like dreams they make me feel sick.

This is an obvious troll.

No I'm quite serious. There seems to be some sort of sleep paralysis epidemic these days, every second person claims to have it. I'm just wondering what the plan is for these people in an emergency situation, if they haven't even considered it given their condition then I think it's an important question to ask.

You ever thought that maybe, because there is this thing that connects everyone to each other called the internet, that 'rare' cases may become more frequently known and experienced?

Also people are more open about their conditions now as more is known about them.

Well I mean three people here claim to have it, seems a bit much no?

Not really, this is a gaming platforms off-topic forum.

If you're expecting it to be 'regular' or 'normal' people here, then you are sadly mistaken.

I've had it. But I sleep during the day time, so it was day when it happened. Nothing scary happened.

Basically your eyes open, and your senses are dulled. It's almost like your dreaming but not quite. You can't move because physically, you still feel like you are asleep. I closed my eyes, and tried wiggling which accelerated my heartbeat, causing me to wake up.

The reason it scares people is because you can still have dreams while in this state. I've heard of some people dreaming that a person was walking towards them, and they couldn't move.

You can still wake up from it, especially if something real happens, like someone touches you, or an actual loud noise happens, but the things you experience from the state itself is different. it's not the same as actually being awake. And no one calls out of work because of it.

Well that's true, normal people seem much less common here than sleep paraylsis sufferers.

I just struggle getting out of bed. 10 minutes on the iPad usually helps getting me up.

sleep paralysis i've experienced a few times in the past, it's not something you can control when it happens. The last time i had it was a few years ago. i'm surprised i haven't had more episodes with the poor sleep quality i get most nights.

You're incredibly ignorant.

A lot of gamers suffer with insomnia, whether its self inflicted through staying awake too long to play games or through no fault of their own via mental heath. Sleep paralysis is in my experience part of the insomnia deal, something I have dealt with for over 10 years.

Considering you are part of a community which has historically been abused and insulted, I would have thought you'd have less ignorance about yourself.

Yeah but you see, it's easy to say something like "shrug it off lol" but rationality ceases to exist if your brain spots an ambiguous threat. Its just something you can't control.

You clearly underestimate just how many people experience it. This is like calling people with poor eye sight "illiterate" when they don't have their glasses on.

You made a topic about sleep paralysis, and your shocked that so many people are claiming they have sleep paralysis IN the topic about sleep paralysis.

That's like making a clothes store and being surprised that people were walking into your store to shop for clothes.

I really don't get your angle.
