Why do you always feel like something is holding you back when you sleep?

When some people sleep, they will have a sleep disorder: they are in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, and at the same time they have all kinds of hallucinations, and they can even hear the sounds around them, but the strange thing is that no matter how hard they try, they can't exert their strength, they can't scream when they want to scream, they want to open their eyes or turn over to get up, but they can't move. After struggling desperately for several minutes, when you finally wake up, you will feel very tired and sometimes even sweaty.

This strange sleep disorder, commonly known as the "ghost press" or "ghost press", can occur during lunch breaks and night sleep. In fact, this situation has nothing to do with ghosts at all, and there is a formal scientific name in medicine: sleep paralysis.

Why do people have sleep paralysis? Dr. Lin of the cardiovascular department of Shenzhen People's Hospital explained that it usually occurs when you just fall asleep, or when you are about to wake up, because our sleep cycle is in order from the sleep period, light sleep period, deep sleep period, deep sleep period, and finally enter the dream period of rapid eye movement. As a result, the body and the brain are not in harmony, that is, the body does not listen to the command of the brain, because the muscles of the whole body are in the state of lowest tension at this time, so it will cause a situation where you want to move but can't move, and you want to use force but can't use force. In fact, sleep paralysis is not uncommon and can occur in people of any age, but it can be regarded as a normal physiological phenomenon and will not have any adverse effects on physical health, so there is no need to worry too much.

Despite this, the emergence of sleep paralysis still reflects some noteworthy information. According to Dr. Lin, generally speaking, under the conditions of high stress, extreme fatigue, abnormal work and rest routine, nervousness, insomnia, anxiety, etc., sleep is prone to enter the rapid eye movement period early, that is, the dream period, and sleep paralysis occurs. Experts suggest that if you want to reduce the chance of sleep paralysis and get high-quality sleep, don't let yourself be too tired, don't stay up late, maintain a normal daily routine, and pay attention to maintaining an optimistic, cheerful and relaxed mood.

I feel that it is also related to your sleeping position, maybe you unconsciously put your hands on your chest, hoping that you will sleep in a different position, if you often or always happen at a fixed time period, it may be that your heart is not very good. Pay attention to having a good mood and appropriately reduce the stress of life! Damn, you won't run into the legendary ghost press.

Haha it's just a joke.

Some people sleep in the so-called "ghost bed" situation, that is, when they wake up, they suddenly find that their whole body cannot move, they can hear the sounds around them and see the images around them, but they can't make a sound, and sometimes they have hallucinations.

The correct medical name for this condition is sleep paralysis.

Sleep paralysis usually occurs when we fall asleep or are about to wake up, which is the sleep cycle when we fall asleep and begin to dream. Our skeletal muscles, except for the respiratory muscles and eye muscles, are in a state of extremely low tension, and if the consciousness is awake at this time, and the muscles of the limbs are still in a state of low tension, it will cause the situation of not listening to the command of consciousness.

In fact, sleep paralysis is not uncommon, it can be regarded as a normal physiological phenomenon, it has nothing to do with ghosts, and it will not have any adverse effects on physical health.

It is usually more likely to occur in situations of high stress, excessive tiredness, irregular work and rest, insomnia, and anxiety.

Try not to tire yourself too much, don't stay up late, and maintaining a normal routine usually reduces the chances of it happening.

Answer: If you feel something pressing on your body while sleeping, the first thing to see if there are some symptoms such as palpitation, chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, etc., if there are these symptoms, the first thing to consider is whether it is caused by coronary heart disease. At the same time, normal people will also have a nightmare, which is a physiological phenomenon, which is commonly known as "ghost press". It may be caused by overwork, mental stress, etc., and this symptom usually lasts for a few seconds to a minute or so, and does not cause anything.

Asking questions, I often dream about it, and I feel like something is pressing on me.

2.Due to nervousness, I usually relax my spirit, but not at night. 3.

When you just fall asleep or wake up, you will feel that your consciousness is very clear, but your body can't help but call you, you can't get up, your body seems to be wrapped in something, you can't speak, you can't open your eyes, and sometimes you may have chest tightness. No matter how hard you struggle, no matter how hard you try to get your body moving, it won't help. Some people even experience hallucinations, including seeing black apparitions.

This feeling is often referred to as a ghost press or nightmare.

This is the legendary ghost press, the reason is that part of the brain wakes up in the middle of the night, but the other parts are still asleep, this is not a disease, just a coincidental phenomenon, no need to panic, theoretically it will not become a vegetative person.

Incubus. Sleep in a different position and don't put your hands on your chest, and that's fine.
