Sleep Paralysis is a sleep disorder also known as the Old Hag, Ag Rog, Sleep Demon, Night Hag, Night-Mare, and many more names. It is the experience of seeming to be awake in the in-between dream state, unable to move. It can also be the feeling of an out-of-body experience. Often, this involves a supernatural presence or figure near or on you. Sleep paralysis tends to reflect social conditions and cultural regions. For instance, historically, one would imagine a witch or demon. From the 1980s to 2000s, it took a science fiction theme as aliens probing the body. In Cambodian refugees it is known as khmaoch sângkât, a supernatural force pushing down on the sleeper’s chest or neck of a person who died during the Cambodian genocide. For most, it is experienced as a strange figure or phantasm. In your answer below, tell your story of sleep paralysis.
