Journal of sleep research · Sleep-paralysis questionnaire study
An Italian survey explored sleep paralysis, bodily awareness and vivid accompanying experiences. Reports included a sensed being, fear and inability to move or speak.
Method and scope
Two hundred and ten adults completed measures of sleep experiences, emotional factors and interoceptive awareness.
What to keep in mind
This is a self-report association study, not a clinical assessment of every participant. The findings cannot establish a cause for an individual experience.
