What to Do During an Episode
If you ever experience sleep paralysis, the most important thing is to stay calm. Struggling against it can intensify panic. Instead, focus on slow, steady breathing and remind yourself that the sensation is temporary. Within seconds, your brain and body will realign, and movement will return.
Understanding Brings Peace
Though sleep paralysis can be alarming, it’s more common than many realize. Understanding what causes it — and maintaining healthy, consistent sleep habits — can help prevent it from recurring. There’s no need for fear: it’s a natural, explainable phenomenon that can be managed with awareness and care.
