Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis is a brief spell when you wake up or drift off fully aware but unable to move or speak, because the body's muscle shutdown during dreaming sleep lingers a little too long. It is frightening but generally harmless. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report yet.
