Rescuing horrors at night

Science has taken a very serious look at the phenomenon of shadowing, hoping to support the psychological treatment process for patients.

Just imagine, you wake up and find that you can't move your limbs or control any muscle on your body. Located in the dark room, you feel like you have the presence of some invisible force. They hover near your bed, or perhaps sit on you, draining all your breath from your chest. This strange phenomenon with a folk name is a shadow . New research shows that understanding this phenomenon can help people relieve the fear of fear after falling into such a situation.

A clear mind before the body 'wakes up' from paralysis can be a horrifying experience, especially when you are still banned. Usually, these horrific moments come with hallucinations and a feeling of suffocation, leading to countless anecdotes about the male and female gods trying to suck the air of the living. Some people even feel that they are about to die, or that the freezing situation also comes with a feeling of falling from above, or floating in the air in the style of a soul left from the body. These mental shocks are worse than the whole body immobilization, according to a report published in the journal Clinical Psychological Science.

Researchers James Cheyne and Gordon Pennycook of the University of Waterloo (Canada) surveyed 293 people, mostly women. I wonder if it is because of the concept of weak women more than men or not, but they are often the most heavily subjected object. Survey results show that shadowing occurs at a frequency of 5 to 60%, depending on the research method. Some people suffer from ballooning more often, while others are only 1 or 2 times in their lifetime.

Accordingly, experts reject the possibility of being a supernatural phenomenon. It happens when the brain and body are not in tune while sleeping. During sleep, it is called rapid eye movement (REM), people dream, but the muscles in the body are relaxed to paralysis, perhaps to keep people from doing the movements in the dream. . Researchers have identified two types of brain chemicals, called glycine and GABA , that are responsible for this paralysis. The good news is that the ball is completely harmless to the sufferer, only to make them panic.

The research results show the importance of understanding and empathy in psychotherapists, in the face of miserable diseases because of the feeling of being overwhelmed. Not everyone accepts logical interpretation of the state of hardening during sleep, and therefore physicians should take a logical approach to sympathy with them to slowly remove the obsession of This unpleasant phenomenon.
