THE LADS™️ are back with Episode 26! And in this one THE LADS™️ are talking all things Sleep Paralysis as well as a myriad of funny, strange and crazy phenomena relating to sleep. In short though sleep paralysis is a temporary inability to move that occurs right after falling asleep or waking up. Individuals remain aware during episodes, which frequently involve troubling hallucinations and a sensation of suffocation. Over the centuries, symptoms of sleep paralysis have been described in many ways and often attributed to an "evil" presence: unseen night demons in ancient times, the old hag in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and alien abductors. Almost every culture throughout history has had stories of shadowy evil creatures that terrify helpless humans at night. People have long sought explanations for this mysterious sleep-time paralysis and the accompanying feelings of terror. THE LADS™️ also resurrect the infamous WhatsApp voice notes from our listeners and play/read some messages sent into us by listeners about their own experience with sleep paralysis.
