In sleep paralysis it could be the subject is at the end of the dream period, yet the pathway is still turned on. For patients who have anxiety and depression, an emotional factor may be preventing that pathway from being turned off - like a tap that is not completely closed. For some people it maybe very frightening, but it's not a drastically bad thing. Muscle tone always returns, as after rem sleep. I feel quite strongly about it because I see so many people who report this.
Sleep paralysis is quite a frightening sensation.
To have a more accurate assessment of it's prevalence is very useful. If patients complain of sleep paralysis, it gives us a better idea of how it can be associated with medications, and mental or sleep disorders. K Fl gstad . Visit the Sales and advertising .for advertisement information.
