Why is there a "ghost pressing the bed"?

The more formal name of Ghost Press is Sleep Paradis, and its cool English name is Sleep Paradis. It is in a daze, half-dreaming and half-waking state that you have all kinds of hallucinations and are struggling to get rid of this sleep disorder. Why is there a ghost bed? Let's first introduce our fragile human sleep ~ People's sleep is divided into many stages ~ There are four stages in total (Attachment: The third and fourth stages of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine merged in 2007, that is, the third or deep sleep stage, so the three stages are also acceptable. This paper defaults to these four stages. ) and then add a REMSleep (active sleep, dreaming stage ~). What are these stages based on? When people sleep, the brain will discharge (zi zi ~), which is brain wave. According to the frequency of your brain waves, it is divided into these stages. In the first stage, the alpha wave at the boundary between sleep and wakefulness begins to replace the beta wave released when people are awake and alert, breathing slows down and the body relaxes for about ten minutes. The second stage: getting better and better. At this stage, there will be a sleep spindle wave with high frequency and large amplitude. By kcomplex, the brain's control of skeletal muscle tension except ventilator and eye muscle has been weakened a lot. However, this is mainly to protect yourself and the people around you. If you follow that vivid dream and do something like beheading and cutting your belly, this stage will last for 20 minutes. The third and fourth stages: deep sleep. At this time, your muscles are further relaxed, and the brain mainly releases delta waves. If you or your child sleepwalks, it is at this stage. Not only sleepwalking, but also talking in sleep and wetting the bed. Stage 5: Dream and REM Period After one and a half hours of deep sleep, congratulations on entering REM period and having nightmares! ! ! Ah, someone is going to cut you with a knife. I was scared. What should I do? Your body must be awakened by consciousness! ! ! Consciousness is awake, but why do you feel weak, as if you were pinned down by something? Because your brain didn't give you back your muscle tension at this time, you couldn't wake up and fall! Oh, mom, your baby hit a ghost bed. TAT So, to put it simply, your muscles are tense and your brain doesn't wake up at the same time, so there is a ghost bed. Don't be afraid next time. What should I do if I meet a ghost press? If someone else meets a ghost bed. All you have to do is tickle them gently to wake up their muscle tension. If it's a nuisance, take revenge and give him a heavy blow ... don't be nervous if you encounter this situation yourself. The more nervous you are, the less your brain can detect that you are awake and will not give you back your muscle tension. You slowly relax, roll your eyes quickly, then binglinbinglin, contract your chin and tongue, and then move your neck, shoulders and hands, fingers, legs and ankles. Your brain will know that you are awake, and you can regain muscle tension and move your whole body! Yeah! Escape from the dream smoothly! ~ "Ghost pressing the bed" is not a "ghost" at work, but a special physiological phenomenon. In medicine, it is a symptom related to sleep, called sleep paralysis.
