could sleep paralysis be the answer to everything?

Nov 27, 2020 | Science, Uncategorized

Sleep Paralysis is a temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking. It most often occurs in people who have narcolepsy or sleep apnea, but it can affect anyone. It is often first noticed during adolescence. Episodes involve not being able to speak or move while falling asleep or upon waking, and usually lasts one or two minutes. The experience can be quite frightening.

It is estimated that sleep paralysis occurs at some point in the lives of up to 40% of the human population. Interestingly, that is about the same number of people who believe in ghosts. Coincidence? I think so. Narcolepsy affects only 1 in 2,000 people. Sleep apnea happens to 25% of men and nearly 10% of women. But about 800 out of every 2,000 people believe they have had a paranormal experience. In my experience, most people report encountering ghosts during the course of the day.


One of the major causes of sleep paralysis is sleep deprivation, or a lack of sleep. A changing sleep schedule, sleeping on your back, the use of certain medications, stress, and other sleep-related problems, such as narcolepsy, may also play a role.


When I was about 6 years old. I dreamed that I had woken up, but I could not open my eyes. I thought I was blind, and I started screaming. I was certain I had woken up. But after I started to scream, I actually did wake up, and I could not open my eyes because they were sealed with Rheum (a thin mucus naturally discharged from the eyes, nose, or mouth, often during sleep.) I had been to the beach the day before, and apparently my eyes were irritated by the sand.

Onepoll conducted a survey of 2,000 Americans for Groupon in 2018, and found that three in five people have said they have seen a ghost in their lifetime, according to a new poll.

Most believed they had had a supernatural experience, with 40 per cent saying they thought their pet had had one too. One in three had either lived or stayed in a house they felt was haunted.

Interestingly, when confronted with a ghost, men were twice as likely as women to scream and run away, while other initial responses included crying, hiding and fainting.

My own story

My Personal Ghost Story(s) My late husband and I met in 1990 at the laboratory we both worked for. Neither of us believed in the paranormal, and in fact we were both atheists. I still am. However, I now believe that our consciousness continues after bodily death....

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross saw ghosts

The Swiss-American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies, authored the best-selling book On Death and Dying (1969), where she first discussed her theory of the five stages of grief. Later, she wrote a much lesser-known book called “Life After Death”. And it was about exactly what you think.

Moving & Displaced Objects

One of the most fascinating experiences in life is to see an object (apparently) move one its own. There is not earthquake, no windstorm, no fan, no air conditioner, no open window, no explosion - just absolutely no reason to explain why an object is moving around....

Ions and why measuring them is important

When an atom or molecule loses or gains one or more electrons, we call it an ion. If it loses an electron (net gain of charge because an electron carries a negative charge) we call it a cation, when it gains an electron we call it an anion.
