Description

A deep dive into why your body feels “locked” during sleep and how to break the freeze. This infographic breaks down the Anatomy of a “Freeze,” where brain chemicals keep you from acting out dreams, sometimes leading to a feeling of suffocation known as the Hypercapnia Effect. It explains the Three Faces of Hallucination – the Intruder, the Incubus (chest pressure), and out-of-body experiences – helping you understand that these are neurological glitches rather than supernatural events. Finally, it offers practical advice like the “Wiggle your extremities” method and side-sleeping to help prevent and manage future episodes.A deep dive into why your body feels “locked” during sleep and how to break the freeze.
