In medical terms this problem is called sleep paralysis, or sleep paralysis.
In sleep paralysis, a person loses the ability to talk or move for a while.
This can usually last from a few seconds to a minute. However, at that time, the patient became very nervous and scared.
Combined military hospital neurologist Dr. According to Samantha Afrin, being diagnosed with sleep or sleep paralysis is a neurological problem between deep sleep and wakefulness.
This phase of sleep is called Rapid Eye Movement-Rem.
Rem is a phase of sleep when the brain is very active and at this stage people dream.
But at that time, no other muscle in the body works. Because of this, the body feels restless even when the brain is active.
Who is sleep paralysis, why?
This is not the case at a certain age. This situation can happen to anyone at any age.
However, according to data from the British National Healthcare Organization (NAES), young people and adolescents are the most affected.
They identified some of the causes behind sleep apnea.
১. Lack of adequate sleep or sleep deprivation. Fall asleep Often times sleepiness can be a problem if not specified during work hours, or when traveling somewhere far away.
2. If intoxicated or smoking and drinking regularly.
৩. If someone in the family has had sleep paralysis.
৪. If you have psychological problems like social angina or panic disorder or bipolar disorder.
Symptoms of seizures:
Dr. According to Samantha Afrin and given information on Britain's National Health Service website, there are some common symptoms of sleep paralysis. They are:
১. It is very difficult to breathe out loud. It feels like there is some pressure in the chest. No breathing.
2. Many people have problems opening their eyes or even moving their eyes.
৩. Many people feel that a person or object is in their vicinity, who wants to do great harm to them.
৪. There are fears. The body goes round.
৫. Heart rate and breathing speed increase. Many people's blood pressure may increase.
৬. The whole thing can last from seconds to minutes. When the effect is cut off, there is no problem with talking or moving as before. Still, many feel restless and anxious to go back to sleep.
What is the treatment?
Sleep paralysis is not a serious disease. Sometimes it gets better on its own.
In many cases it is possible to overcome this problem by keeping the mind free from stress as well as bringing about positive change in the habit and sleep.
Experts offer some general suggestions in this regard:
১. Trying to sleep for at least six hours to eight hours a night. And that sleep should be deep.
2. Making it a practice to go to bed at the same time every night and to wake up at a certain time in the morning. Even on holidays.
৩. You should try to create a comfortable environment in the bedroom for sleeping. As if there was no noise in the room, the room was dark and the temperature was tolerable, neither too high nor too low. If possible, the fragrance of lavender can be sprinkled in the room.
৪. Before going to bed you should avoid heavy foods as well as smoking, drinking alcohol and caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee.
৫. Try to exercise at least four hours before going to bed.
৬. During sleep, mobile phones, laptops, or anything that can be tied to the sleep can not be kept.
৭. During the day, you should avoid sleep for a long time.
৮. If you have sleep paralysis, you will have to enlighten your mind that there is nothing to fear, this situation is temporary, after a while, everything will be okay. At this point the body must be restrained from trying to move.
When to seek medical treatment:
Following these rules, even if someone aggravates slip paralysis, meaning that your sleep is interrupted regularly, you need to seek medical attention.
Because sleep apnea frequently causes blood pressure to increase or decrease abnormally, which can pose a major health risk.
The doctor advises the patient at the end of the overall health examination.
Many times they prescribe low-dose anti-depressant drugs.
What is the medical procedure?
Neurologists or neurologists advise on the basics.
In that case, they undergo electromyogram-EMG examination.
Here the level of electrical activity of the muscle is examined. That is, during sleep paralysis is greatly reduced.
Due to lack of sleep at night, many of the victims of sleep paralysis get sleep during the day.
At that time, doctors examine the patient's sleep during the day. This is called the Daytime Nap Study and its test is called the Multiple Sleep Latency Test.
During sleep paralysis, the brain wakes up but the body is still relaxed.
For this reason, two researchers in Canada have stated that the brain is dehydrated due to two types of chemicals or amino acids.
The chemicals are glycine and gamma aminobutyric acid-GABA.
Neuroscientists Patricia L. Brooks and John H. Peaver, PhD, at the University of Toronto, have learned through multiple experiments that the neurotransmitter GABA and glycine "switch off" the cells that keep the brain active.
