The approach to treating sleep paralysis varies based on its root cause. If it's associated with an underlying sleep disorder, doctors at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches may recommend treating that condition to alleviate the episodes. The first step in addressing sleep paralysis is to identify any potential triggers so that they can be avoided or minimized. Additionally, improving overall sleep quality by maintaining a regular sleeping schedule, eliminating stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine, and engaging in stress relief activities can be beneficial. If symptoms persist, various medications can be prescribed to help improve sleep quality and reduce the frequency of episodes of sleep paralysis. For more severe cases, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been found to be especially effective in reducing the intensity of episodes.
