Sleep Paralysis; Spiritual or Medical?
Have you ever woken up from your sleep to find out that you can’t move your body or utter a word? A scary moment of temporal paralysis. If you have never experienced it, well, yours sincerely have experienced it on several occasions.
I have always blamed my village witches’ attack for this strange occurrence.
However, Dr. Nonso, a young Nigerian doctor who has made a great reputation for himself by explaining strange ailments, in a concise write-up, made an interesting revelation regarding ”sleep paralysis”.
In his write-up, Dr. Nonso explained the causes of and solutions to what he called ”Sleep paralysis”.
Before you read this, please understand that I’m not disputing the potency of the spiritual solution to matters of life.

Dr. Nonso wrote;
Are ”they” pressing you in the night? Do you suddenly wake up not being able to move?
Before you go for deliverance, before you give testimony in the church, read this;
You might not be possessed, you may just have sleep paralysis.
When we dream, our body switches off the ability to move so that we don’t injure ourselves acting out the dreams. When we wake, that ability is switched on, but sometimes, that switch develops problem so we wake up paralyzed.
This is terrifying! Imagine being awake but not being able to move. That is sleep paralysis!

Actual Causes of Sleep paralysis;
You may likely have sleep paralysis if you sleep on your back, if you are not getting enough sleep, if you are stressed, depressed or if you have a sleep disorder.
Here are a few ways that may help prevent sleep paralysis;
-Get enough sleep
-Avoid caffeine just before bedtime
-Avoid noise or lights
-Pay attention to your mental health
Some drugs can be used to prevent or manage sleep paralysis, these drugs can reduce the REM sleep which is where most of the cases occur. Talk to your Doctor.
In other cases, if someone suddenly wakes up gasping for air or run to a window, it may not be sleep paralysis, but may occur when the lungs are filled with fluid.
This can happen in heart failure and becomes better if the person sits upright for a while.
