8: “There’s Something in My Room...” Sleep Paralysis and Other Parasomnias

Why is it that some people have issues with their sleep where they feel they can’t move, and other people will actually move too much in their sleep?? Back in Episode 4,  Áine and Ruth started discussing sleep and this week it’s time for Sleep: Part Two! They unpack elements of ‘Parasomnia’, more commonly known as disruptive sleep-related disorders. Ruth shares her own experience of sleep paralysis, with Áine explaining theories behind why this happens, along with another common parasomnia; sleep walking.
