Experts believe that most, if not all, people have encountered sleep problems that are worse than nightmares or bad dreams. This scenario includes feeling a sense of terror that leaves the person numb with the heart pounding at fast speeds.
This is a scenario where a person can’t move a muscle and that he is struggling for breath because something is pressed heavily against the chest.

This phenomenon is termed Sleep Paralysis or a more technical term would be hypnagogic sleep paralysis.

It is one of the common experiences doctors around the globe believe to happen to a person at least once in a lifetime. However, there are several individuals who experience repeated incidents in a week.

This phenomenon usually happens during the REM period of sleep where the brain becomes active and the dreamer starts experiencing vivid dreams.

Irregular sleeping schedules contribute to this kind of situation that’s why experts suggest sleep for at least six to eight hours a day.
