and don't you wish everyone knew what this is instead of looking at you like your on crack?Am I the only teenage girl with sleeping paralysis?
Up to as many as four out of every 10 people may have sleep paralysis. This common condition is often first noticed in the teen years. But men and women of any age can have it. Sleep paralysis may run in families. Other factors that may be linked to sleep paralysis include:
* a lack of sleep
* a sleep schedule that changes
* mental conditions such as stress or bipolar disorder
* sleeping on the back
* other sleep problems such as narcolepsy or nighttime leg cramps
* use of certain medications
* substance abuse
Most people need no treatment for sleep paralysis. Treating any underlying conditions such as narcolepsy may help if you are anxious or unable to sleep well. These treatments may include the following:
* improving sleep habits -- such as making sure you get 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night
* using antidepressant medication to help regulate sleep cycles
* treating any mental health problems that may contribute to sleep paralysis
* treating any other sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy or leg crampsAm I the only teenage girl with sleeping paralysis?
