Send us a text

On today's episode of Yours Mentally we talk about Nightmares and Sleep Paralysis. This episode is in conversation with Shreya Rana who is a counselling psychologist.
We begin the episode by talking about what sleep paralysis is and how does one feel during a sleep paralysis episode.
We then go on to talk about why they call it the sleep paralysis “demon” and does everyone who experiences sleep paralysis get the “demon” experience.
We then talk about at what age does sleep paralysis affect people and if there is a particular age group that is susceptible to sleep paralysis.
Shreya then talks about the possible causes of sleep paralysis, the relation between nightmares and sleep paralysis, what kind of hallucinations do people experience during a nightmare and whether there are any exceptions where they experience positive and happy hallucinations.
Shreya then speaks about how you can treat sleep paralysis and keep the demons at bay.
Lastly we discuss the effects that nightmares have on our mental health.
