[00:00:00]You wake up.

[00:00:02]But your body won't move, and your brain may still be trapped between sleep and reality.

[00:00:10]During sleep paralysis, darn.

[00:00:14]Parts of the brain wake up before the body fully regains movement.

[00:00:20]Because parts of the brain are still dreaming, some people experience vivid hallucinations during sleep paralysis.

[00:00:30]The fear can feel extremely real because the brain's threat detection systems become highly active.

[00:00:40]Many people also report pressure [music] on the chest.

[00:00:46]Partly because breathing [music] patterns change during REM sleep.

[00:00:50]Eventually, the brain and body reconnect fully, and movement suddenly returns.

[00:01:00]Sleep paralysis may feel supernatural, but it's actually a strange collision between dreaming and waking consciousness, and your brain creates the terror itself.
