Sleep paralysis is one thing I do not wish for my enemies because have been a victim of such involuntary encounter.source
I don't know if you have ever found difficulty in waking up even when you are totally conscious but can't move your body? It mostly occur when about going to sleep or waking up, then you just end up been caught up in the paralysed nature. It can take for like 1minute or more than. I experienced this act for 4 years of my life before it stopped.
For those who are not aware of this, giving a precise definition would expand your knowledge about it more.
Sleep paralysis can be defined as a state of been paralysed for minutes or seconds, which is mostly encountered during waking from sleep or going to sleep. It can be associated with noise or darkness gradually covering your view(optional).

It's makes you unable to move, talk or reach out to the person next to you to even wake you up(how will they wake someone who is awake? Not their fault) It's like you gonna die or be in a conscious coma state.
My Experience
As for me, I do experience such encounter before, where I can be fully awake but would suddenly fall into a paralysed nature. One day, I and my friend in my room were gisting. Suddenly I could not talk, move or do anything anymore, all I could see, was my friend who even kept on talking but she wasn't aware of what was happening. It lasted for 30seconds, immediately I got my consciousness back, I had a heavy breath gasp which cut the attention of my friend to realize something went wrong. If you have experienced this before, you are not strange o😁.

2.Lack of leisure time

6.Sleeping disorders
There could be more causes to this experience that's is not listed above.
Medical treatment
1.Treating mental problem
2.Improving sleeping habit
3.Sleeping side ways
4.Resting adequately
In my country where I come from "Nigeria", this disorder according to Africans is highly spiritual. It's shows a demonic attack that requires fervent fasting and prayers. Therefore, the dilemma is set in, is it medically deficiency or a spiritual problem? decide for yourselves.
