"Phantom" or Sleep Paralysis 👻😴🧠💭

In fact, not real ghosts do anything to us, but physical and brain phenomena that can be described scientifically:

Caused by what?

• During the REM Sleep (Rapid Eye Movement Sleep), our body enters a state where muscles are depressed (to prevent us from getting up and acting in our dreams).

But sometimes the brain wakes up before the body → makes it conscious, perceives its surroundings, but the muscles are still "locked."

• As a result, it cannot move, it is difficult to open your eyes, it is difficult to feel tight your chest, it is inconvenient to breathe, and some people may hallucinate, as if there is a pressure or a shadow nearby → so it is called a "ghost."

Factors that cause it often

• Not getting enough sleep / not resting for time

• Stress, anxiety

• Lying on your back (greater chance of birth than other sleeping positions)

• Sleep apnea or some sleep problems

How to prevent

1. Make regular bedtime and get enough sleep

2. Reduce stress before bed, such as listening to relaxed music, taking a deep breath.

3. Avoid lying on your back

4. Health care, sleep. Keep the bedroom calm, dark, comfortable temperature.

👉 So sleep and you can't move, not a real ghost, but a normal physical and brain symptom. ✨

... Read moreภาวะผีอำ หรือที่เรียกว่า Sleep Paralysis นั้นเป็นประสบการณ์ที่น่าสนใจและน่ากลัวสำหรับหลายคน เพราะทำให้เกิดความรู้สึกว่าตัวเองตื่นอยู่แต่ไม่สามารถขยับตัวได้เลยในช่วงเวลาสั้นๆ ซึ่งอาการนี้สามารถเกิดขึ้นได้กับทุกคนแต่จะเกิดบ่อยในบางกลุ่มคนที่มีปัจจัยเสี่ยงต่างๆ หนึ่งในสาเหตุหลักที่ทำให้เกิดภาวะผีอำ คือการที่สมองเข้าสู่ช่วง REM Sleep ซึ่งเป็นช่วงที่คนเราฝันและกล้ามเนื้อในร่างกายจะถูกกดไว้ (muscle atonia) เพื่อป้องกันไม่ให้ร่างกายตอบสนองความฝันโดยการเคลื่อนไหว แต่ในบางครั้งสมองกลับตื่นก่อนกล้ามเนื้อทำให้เรารู้สึกตัวแต่ไม่สามารถขยับร่างกายได้ ซึ่งนั่นคือสิ่งที่ก่อให้เกิดความรู้สึกกลัวและภาพหลอนว่ามีอะไรบางอย่างมากดทับหรืออยู่ใกล้ตัว นอกจากนี้ ปัจจัยที่มีผลต่อความถี่และความรุนแรงของอาการผีอำ ได้แก่การนอนหลับที่ไม่เพียงพอหรือไม่สม่ำเสมอ ความเครียดและความวิตกกังวลสูง รวมถึงท่านอนที่นอนหงายที่เพิ่มโอกาสให้เกิดภาวะนี้ได้มากขึ้น เช่นเดียวกับผู้ที่มีปัญหาหยุดหายใจขณะหลับหรือโรคเกี่ยวกับการนอนอื่นๆ ก็มีความเสี่ยงสูงขึ้นด้วย การป้องกันภาวะผีอำทำได้โดยการปรับปรุงคุณภาพการนอนให้ดีขึ้น เช่น การจัดตารางเวลานอนให้สม่ำเสมอและเพียงพอในแต่ละคืน ลดความเครียดโดยการผ่อนคลายก่อนนอนเช่น ใช้เทคนิคหายใจลึก ฟังเพลงที่ช่วยให้สงบหลับง่าย และหลีกเลี่ยงการนอนหงาย นอกจากนี้ การทำให้ห้องนอนมีบรรยากาศสงบ มืด และมีอุณหภูมิที่เหมาะสม ก็ช่วยให้การนอนหลับลึกและมีประสิทธิภาพยิ่งขึ้น สำหรับผู้ที่มีอาการบ่อยหรือรุนแรง อาจต้องปรึกษาแพทย์เพื่อประเมินสุขภาพการนอนและรับคำแนะนำทางการแพทย์ต่อไป สรุปแล้วภาวะผีอำเป็นเรื่องที่สามารถเข้าใจและจัดการได้ หากเข้าใจกลไกและวิธีรับมืออย่างถูกต้อง จะช่วยให้การนอนหลับดีขึ้น และลดความกังวลในช่วงเวลาที่เกิดอาการนี้ได้อย่างมาก หวังว่าข้อมูลนี้จะช่วยเสริมความเข้าใจและความมั่นใจให้กับผู้ที่พบเจออาการผีอำ ว่ามันเป็นปรากฏการณ์ทางสมองและร่างกายที่เกิดขึ้นได้และไม่ใช่สิ่งลี้ลับแต่อย่างใด

breaking the barriers of ADHD paralysis
If you have ADHD, have you ever been so plagued with overwhelm that, although you have so much to do, you just freeze? That likely is an episode of ADHD paralysis. On the outside, you just look still, but on the inside, you’re going non stop, too overwhelmed to move or make your next decision.
