What is the "sleep paralysis" during the Ghost Festival?

In fact, this is a very common sleep disorder called sleep paralysis.
In addition to feeling unable to move, you may also have difficulty breathing and even hallucinations.
The most common hallucination is the feeling of something pressing on you.
When entering the deep sleep stage, there is a rapid eye movement period, which is often accompanied by dreaming and is a stage in the sleep cycle.
One of the causes of sleep paralysis is during the rapid eye movement period, when people suddenly become conscious for unknown reasons.
However, the body's muscles are still in a state of low tension, so the body does not obey the "commands" of consciousness.
To put it simply, your consciousness is awake, but your body has not yet fully awakened and cannot keep up with your thoughts, so you will feel that your body is out of control.
Coupled with the fantasy of fear, it causes hallucinations. So, whatever you are afraid of is what you will see when you are experiencing sleep paralysis.

What should you do if you experience sleep paralysis?

If you experience symptoms of sleep paralysis, first move your eyes rapidly, moving them up and down and left and right.
Then blink your eyes, try to move small parts such as your fingers, toes, tongue, and lips, and then try to move your limbs, allowing your body to slowly wake up from the paralyzed state.
