up in a dream state unable to move. At that point a monster would enter the room, closing in with the aim of attacking her. Unable to move or scream, she feels completely helpless and scared to death.</p> <p>Imagine that feeling of being awake but paralyzed, unable to move or speak. Helpless. Sleep paralysis is exactly that. Affecting less than 8 percent of the general population, a session of sleep paralysis usually lasts around 1 to 2 minutes, typically happening in the mixed-consciousness state of falling off to sleep or waking up. Although it sounds scary, the condition is not dangerous and not a chronic sleep disorder. Signs point to that the risk of sleep paralysis increases with negative stress and high anxiety. And that it can be regulated and avoided by keeping a consistent sleep schedule and limiting everyday stress factors.</p> <p>Learn more about sleep paralysis in the articles below.</p> </header> <div class="flex--3--tablet"> <article class="post--single"> <a href="https://www.sleepcycle.com/sleep-paralysis/understanding-sleep-paralysis/" > <figure><img width="960" height="635" src="https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-960x635.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="What is Sleep Paralysis" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" srcset="https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-960x635.jpg 960w, https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-1920x1270.jpg 1920w, https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-480x317.jpg 480w, https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-1440x952.jpg 1440w, https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-1536x1016.jpg 1536w, https://www.sleepcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/what-is-sleep-paralysis-2048x1355.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px"></figure> <h3>Understanding sleep paralysis: what does it really feel like?
