I can't move my body when I sleep

I don't know if you have ever felt very tired when sleeping, and you can't turn over no matter how hard you try. It feels like something is pressing on you. This feeling shows that your body is very tired during the day, so you will feel very uncomfortable at night. When you dream, you will feel like you are being pressed down by a ghost. So what should you do if you can't move your body when you sleep?

This is a nightmare behavior, also known as being possessed by a ghost.

When people are sleeping, they suddenly feel as if there is a thousand-pound weight pressing on the body, making them drowsy and breathless, as if they are neither awake nor asleep. They want to shout but cannot, they want to move but cannot. People feel puzzled and terrified, as if there is a transparent object pressing on their body, and combined with the dream, it is given a "vivid" name - being pressed by a ghost. In fact, this is called "nightmare" in medicine. Like dreaming, nightmare is also a physiological phenomenon. When a person suddenly wakes up from a dream, some of the nerve centers in the brain have woken up, but the nerve centers that control the muscles have not yet fully woken up. Therefore, although he feels uncomfortable, he cannot move. At this time, if someone wakes him up or pushes him, the nightmare will disappear immediately.

In fact, this phenomenon is very common. For example, it is impossible for us to clench our fists completely when we just wake up; many people need to take a few minutes to recover after waking up. This is because the central nervous system does not work synchronously.

Lying on your back, covering yourself with a thick blanket or placing your hands on your chest, being overly nervous during the day, and eating too much at dinner are all triggers of nightmares. Treatment:

1. It is caused by sleeping on your back. The chance of occurrence is lower if you sleep on your side at night.

2. It is due to mental stress. The mind is relaxed at ordinary times but not at night.

3. Get enough rest
