Could sleep paralysis be pleasant?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Sleep paralysis is an inability to move at sleep onset or upon awakening. It is often a distressing experience that can be associated with significant clinical consequences. Few studies have focused on pleasant sleep paralysis episodes. The present study aimed to determine the relative prevalence of pleasant episodes of sleep paralysis as well as the variables may make them more likely to occur. Participants (N = 172) with recurrent episodes of sleep paralysis completed a battery of questionnaires investigating sleep paralysis episodes, trauma symptoms, life satisfaction, and big five personality traits. Pleasant sleep paralysis was found to be a fairly common experience in the sample (i.e., 23%). Episodes were emotionally complex, with pleasant episodes often involving some admixture of fear. In terms of hallucinations, pleasant episodes were more likely to involve vestibular-motor sensations (i.e., illusory body movements) and some individuals reported an ability to induce these hallucinations. The personality characteristic predisposed to the occurrence of pleasant sleep paralysis is openness to new experiences. Contrary to expectation, neither lower trauma symptomatology nor higher levels of reported life satisfaction predicted pleasant sleep paralysis. However, the ability to lucid dream and higher levels of trait openness to new experiences appeared to make pleasant episodes more likely. Clinical implications for these findings are discussed.
