In this 98th episode I delve into the curious and rather scary experience of sleep paralysis.
I explain sleep paralysis from a modern neurological perspective, offer some stats on risk factors and populations most commonly impacted by this condition, and touch on some folklore around the condition.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of sleep paralysis is the extremely common involvement with "sleep paralysis demons." (Not my word... This is a well documented thing.)
I came to this episode due to a recent, and thankfully only experience, with a sleep paralysis event... Complete with my own scary demon! It was quite a ride, but I came through unscathed nevertheless.
If you can listen until the end of this episode I will share my recent experience and what I did to help myself out of this rather freaky scenario.
