解讀“鬼壓床”看完再也不怕了！

你有沒(méi)有睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候突然有了知覺(jué)但是身體不能動(dòng)的時(shí)候？也就是民間所謂的“鬼壓床”？鬼壓床在午休和晚間睡眠時(shí)都可能發(fā)生。其實(shí)，這種情形跟鬼怪根本無(wú)關(guān)，在醫(yī)學(xué)上有一個(gè)正規(guī)的學(xué)名：睡眠癱瘓癥。所幸這種情形多半在幾分鐘內(nèi)會(huì)自己慢慢地或突然地恢復(fù)肢體的動(dòng)作。

Sleep paralysis episodes typically occur either early in the night, as someone is falling asleep, or towards the end of the night, as someone is waking up. Stressful life events, anxiety, sleep quality and genetics are all linked to it.

?睡眠癱瘓癥通常發(fā)生在晚間剛?cè)胨瘯r(shí)，或者凌晨正要蘇醒時(shí)。生活壓力、焦慮情緒、睡眠質(zhì)量、以及基因遺傳都與之相關(guān)。

In a recent UK study, nearly 30 per cent of respondents said that they had experienced at least one episode of sleep paralysis in their lifetime.

在英國(guó)最近的一次調(diào)查中，近30%的受訪者稱(chēng)曾經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過(guò)至少一次睡眠癱瘓癥。

While sleep paralysis can be a terrifying ordeal to go through, those who do experience it should try to remember that it is a temporary and harmless event.

?盡管睡眠癱瘓癥是一種令人恐懼的經(jīng)歷，但曾發(fā)作過(guò)的人們應(yīng)該記住，睡眠癱瘓癥是暫時(shí)性的，而且對(duì)身體無(wú)害。
