The Weekend opened up about his struggle with sleep paralysis – a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It happens when you pass between stages of wakefulness and sleep. The Canadian singer said he found out that a lack of proper sleep led to his condition, which is now under control. You can just read on to know all about the condition. Sleep paralysis happens when you are not able to move any part of your body right before falling asleep or as you wake up. Experts say it happens when your body is between stages of sleep and wakefulness. Even though an episode can be temporary and only last for a few seconds to a couple of minutes, it can make you anxious. Being a type of parasomnia, sleep paralysis can make you feel confused because you may regain movement of your body as if nothing happened. Even one sleep paralysis episode can make you nervous about going to sleep. This can affect how you feel and function during the daytime. Doctors say there is no cure to stop sleep paralysis, which more than 30 per cent of people across the world experience – but treatment is available to reduce how often episodes affect you. I did my research on it, and it’s just a lack of sleep. Your brain is still awake when you’re asleep. So my biggest medicine for it is just to turn your phone off, turn the TV off, and turn all the lights off. And yeah, you won’t get it. The irony is it’s got to all be dark and scary for you to sleep through the night
