Why am I like this?

This may be a general fantasy and should not be a big deal.

It should be normal! Did it happen when I was about to fall asleep but still a little awake, I also had this experience!!

I guess you're still having nightmares. Nightmares feel bad, awake but unable to make sounds, unable to move limbs, like a soul attached to a corpse. Not only that, but at this time, the brain will be eager to fall asleep, and the person will fall asleep irresistibly, and the eyes will slowly darken, and the consciousness will be blurred.

But at this time, out of the instinct of longing for consciousness and the fear of nightmares, people try to get rid of the nightmare and wake up immediately, but because they can't move, they can't get up. At this time, someone will touch you or call you by name, and you will wake up immediately.

When a person is sleeping, the brain is dormant and dreams halfway through. Many people know that when sleeping, the brain alternates between deep sleep and light sleep. When the brain sleeps lightly, people dream; When you are in deep sleep, you are completely unconscious, and you feel like you are in the deep sea where there is no light.

Normally, people wake up from light sleep, but when you're unfortunate enough to wake up from a deep sleep, the likelihood of a nightmare is high. At this time, if you wake up and can't move, it's because the center in your brain that is responsible for receiving information has woken up, and the center responsible for movement is still asleep, and then you can only blink and breathe, but you can't move, and you can't even bite your tongue to wake yourself up. The explanation for nightmares is as simple as that, and it is actually no different from a stroke patient.

Because a part of the brain is still asleep, and the part that wakes up continues to fall asleep under the influence, there will be irresistible feelings. In this half-dreaming and half-waking process, everything that the human brain thinks at this time is very easy to project into hallucinations, which combine with the information transmitted by the retina and transmit to the human signal processing center. Because of the high degree of truth, even the brain is often deceived.

Now that you know about nightmares, I hope that you don't feel too much fear of them, and don't have any shadows in your hearts because of the hallucinations that occurred during nightmares in the past. The reason why I know so much is because there are many such experiences, most of which are related to irregular sleep, hehe. Also, because I hate the feeling of nightmares, I have to find ways to wake myself up when nightmares happen.

It's not easy to do this, so I'll tell you some ways to prevent nightmares.

The main thing is to develop a healthy daily routine, and also to drink less water before going to bed, and don't force yourself when you don't want to sleep. It is possible to have nightmares when you fall asleep, but it seems that the chance of hallucinations is relatively low.

When you have a nightmare, there are several ways to wake yourself up. It's almost impossible to move your hands and feet during nightmares, but try wiggling your head. I've now practiced to the point where I can shake my head 90 degrees and move my limbs slightly.

Also, don't sleep there after waking yourself up, as there is a high chance of having another nightmare. It's best to turn on the lights and get up immediately, drink some water, sit down, and wait until your mind clears up before going back to sleep.
