Today I will introduce to you some strange sleeping situations. If you are interested, please take the time to take a look with me.

Common sleeping problems

One-third of a person's life is spent sleeping, and you may have encountered the following situations. But have you ever thought about the reason?

Sleep paralysis

Feeling: Being in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, unable to move or shout. There are also hallucinations, such as feeling like someone is pressing on you or that there are strange objects in the room. In ancient times, this condition was called "sleep paralysis".

Reason: Normally when we sleep, our bodies rest. However, during the rapid eye movement period, due to unknown reasons, consciousness suddenly becomes clear, while the muscles of the limbs are still in a state of low tension and cannot complete the movements commanded by the consciousness, resulting in "the body wants to move but cannot move." According to those who have experienced it, this happens when you are lying down to sleep.

Hypnagogic hallucinations

Feeling: Although already asleep, still on the verge of wakefulness, able to see strange people, things, and objects in front of my eyes.

Causes: Excessive stress, anxiety, extreme fatigue or lack of sleep may all lead to this. This happens to children as well, and it may be the reason they don’t want to go to bed.

daydream

Feeling: Or sleep talking. This is not dangerous, but the person may worry about blurting out some secrets.

Reason: This happens because the inhibitory effect does not spread to the entire cerebral cortex during sleep and the language center is still active.

Dream within a dream

Feeling: Multiple dreams means dreaming that you are dreaming, and after "waking up" you find that you were just dreaming. This process may have to be repeated many times before you can really wake up, so that you can't tell whether you are in reality or in a dream.

Reason: There is a saying that if there is such a situation, it proves that the person is inclined towards spiritual practice. However, due to the lack of official research reports, "dreaming within a dream" remains an unknown area.

Sleepwalking

Feeling: Contrary to sleep paralysis, the mind is asleep but the muscles are not relaxed. In this condition, a person can walk, wash, and even leave the house, although this can be dangerous. And afterwards, they don't remember anything.

Causes: Sleepwalking affects approximately 4.6-10.3% of the population, with children being more affected. The cause of the disease remains unclear

Exploding Head Syndrome

Feeling: A buzzing in the head, waking up to a loud explosion or clapping sound, which can also be accompanied by a humming or flashing sound. This phenomenon is not dangerous, but it is scary. Some people think they have had a stroke.

Cause: The cause is still unknown, but several possibilities have been proposed, including ear dysfunction and partial epileptic seizures. In addition, studies have shown that when the symptoms of explosive head appear, they are often accompanied by a sudden increase in brain neural activity.

Sleep apnea

Sensation: Breathing suddenly stops during a dream, and the clinical manifestations are snoring with apnea during sleep at night and daytime sleepiness.

Cause: During sleep, the throat muscles relax, sometimes causing the airway to become blocked. Obesity, smoking and old age increase the risk of developing the disease
