Fiona’s handbook on Sleep Paralysis

Most people have probably heard of some sleep disorders, such as nightmares, sleep walking, and insomnia. However there are many other sleep conditions that are not well known or widely discussed. Sleep Paralysis is one of those and it can affect people’s everyday lives. There are no clear statistics showing the percentage of the population who have Sleep Paralysis and there is even less information out there that can tell us why some people have this frightening problem. This book describes the symptoms of Sleep Paralysis, current and possible actions to prevent or stop it. The strategies described by the author are designed to be of support and to suggest new ideas to anyone who suffers from Sleep Paralysis, or knows someone else who does.

Sleep Paralysis


Book Description

Sleep Paralysis explores a distinctive form of nocturnal fright: the "night-mare," or incubus. In its original meaning a night-mare was the nocturnal visit of an evil being that threatened to press the life out of its victim. Today, it is known as sleep paralysis-a state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, when you are unable to move or speak and may experience vivid and often frightening hallucinations. Culture, history, and biology intersect to produce this terrifying sleep phenomenon. Although a relatively common experience across cultures, it is rarely recognized or understood in the contemporary United States. Shelley R. Adler's fifteen years of field and archival research focus on the ways in which night-mare attacks have been experienced and interpreted throughout history and across cultures and how, in a unique example of the effect of nocebo (placebo's evil twin), the combination of meaning and biology may result in sudden nocturnal death.

Sleep Paralysis


Book Description

Sleep paralysis is a relatively new term used to describe the situation where a person is suddenly unable to move or speak as they're about to drift off to sleep, or as they're in the process of waking up. Before science was able to explain this condition, people believed a supernatural force was behind sleep paralysis - along with causing bad dreams and nightmares. For example, it was often explained away by witches and demons supposedly sitting on a sleeping person's chest, preventing them from moving or reacting even when awake. Now, we know that's not true, although it may still feel scary to be so helpless in this moment, your heart beating fast, you're unable to move or speak, and you don't really know what's going on. If this has ever happened to you, or happens to you regularly (and you don't want to subscribe to the ridiculous "demon sitting on your chest" theory), then this book is for you. In this book, you'll learn about the specific causes of sleep paralysis, and what you can do to manage an episode while staying calm. Furthermore, we'll also cover various preventive measures to avoid future recurrences. So if you are looking forward to sleeping soundly again, and not being frightened by sleep paralysis, then let's get started!




Sleep Paralysis


Book Description

Sleep paralysis is a state during waking up or falling asleep in which a person is aware but unable to move or speak. When we sleep, we fade from our physical body and our astral body leaves. Our astral body is our second body or spirit body. The state of sleep paralysis occurs when the physical body wakes up before the astral body has returned back to the physical body. What causes you to wake up could be several factors but one of the factors this book focuses on is the presence of entities. This book will give you detailed descriptions of common negative entities/spirits that cause this phenomenon and also teach you how to defend yourself against them to prevent it from happening in the future. If you have ever experienced the scary, painful, and terrifying state of sleep paralysis and seeing figures during this phenomenon that either attack you or taunt you, you will find clarity in this book on why this happens and how to stop it from happening to yourself or a loved one.




Sleep Paralysis


Book Description

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either upon falling asleep or awakening, temporarily experience the inability to move, and it is often associated with terrifying sensations. Sleep paralysis is known by many names across the world including "Old Hag Syndrome" in the west. Some claims it is caused by "Shadow People," "Hat Man," or various evil spiritual beings like demons. Some but not all cases of "alien abductions" or incubus and succubus attacks (spiritual rape) can be chalked up to a severe sleep paralysis episode. The author of this book claims to know how to do something that most sleep scientists say is impossible: to stop sleep paralysis for good. Chris White has helped thousands of people stop sleep paralysis through his nonprofit websites and videos, and has conducted one of the largest surveys ever done on the subject. This book is intended to be an overview of what sleep paralysis is, what causes it, and a detailed explanation of how to stop it. It also contains many personal accounts from people who have stopped sleep paralysis using the methods described by the author. "What you showed me worked." - Jonathan S. "The experiences have now ceased." - Douglas J. "You cured my sleep paralysis." Mike B. "It has not returned to this day! Thank You." Joseph S.




Sleep


Book Description

We spend more than 200,000 hours sleeping in a lifetime, the equivalent of more than 8,000 days. Yet research has only just begun to decode the mysteries behind what can go wrong. Here, Dr. Carlos H. Schenck, one of the most prominent sleep doctors and researchers in the country, takes us on an incredible journey into the mechanisms of sleep, and the spectrum of disorders that can occur when these mechanisms go bizarrely awry. Dr. Schenck discusses the causes and treatments for common problems-insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea, and more. But what sets this book apart is the rare glimpse it offers into the cutting-edge science that he and others have pioneered in identifying, understanding, and explaining the realm of "parasomnias"-the mysterious, more extreme sleep disorders,such as dream enactment, sleep-related eating disorder, sexsomnia, sleepwalking, sleep terrors, sleep paralysis, and even sleep violence, which affect at least 20 million Americans. Comprehensive, engrossing, and backed by the latest medical research, Sleep is a groundbreaking work about what continues to be one of our most mysterious medical puzzles-making it an indispensable guide for sufferers of all sleep disorders and their families.




Handbook of Sleep Disorders in Medical Conditions


Book Description

Handbook of Sleep Disorders in Medical Conditions reviews the current knowledge on the nature and manifestations of sleep disorders associated with a variety of common medical conditions, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and dementia. It also provides clinical guidelines on how to assess and treat them with pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Although the general principles of sleep medicine may be applied to some extent to patients with comorbid medical conditions, this book makes the case that an adaptive approach is warranted when considering the particularities of each condition. In addition, clinicians must also be cautious when prescribing sleep medications as some pharmacological agents are known to exacerbate symptoms associated with the medical condition, such as cognitive deficits (i.e. difficulties with memory and attention) in cancer patients experiencing chemo brain, or in persons with neurologic conditions (e.g. mild cognitive impairment, dementia, stroke, brain injury). A differential approach to evaluating and treating sleep is thus warranted. Presents a general overview on assessing and treating sleep disorders that are applicable to a diverse set of patients Provides a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the literature on the prevalence and manifestations of sleep problems related to specific medical conditions Includes practical information regarding special considerations for the assessment and treatment of sleep issues in specific medical conditions
