18 Jun 2025

Description

Sleep Paralysis Explained: From Witchcraft to Brain ScienceSleep paralysis is one of those experiences that feels like your own body has turned against you. You wake up, frozen, unable to move, while your mind races and shadows creep into the edges of your vision. For centuries, cultures around the world have blamed witches, demons, and restless spirits for these terrifying moments. But modern science tells a different story—one about the brain’s tricky relationship with sleep. This episode digs into the myths, the facts, and the very human fear behind sleep demons. It’s a story about how we try to make sense of what feels impossible to explain, and why those ancient nightmares still linger in our minds today.#SleepParalysis #SleepDemons #NightmareStories #ParalysisMyth #SleepScience #FolkloreMystery #BrainAndSleepThanks for listening to 10 Minute Mystery.
