For the last thousand years, the term "SP" has

had multiple meanings; scientific explanation

has uncovered SP for what it is, for some, a sign

of very severe illnesses, while for others, only

a nightmare accompanied by the emergence of

evil. Different approaches used to calculate the

frequency have been related to the difference in

SP occurrence among nations and ethnic communities.

In Canadian culture, SP is associated

with a dream that is influenced by an individual's

intellectual ideas. Egyptian culture holds the

strong idea that SP can result in death and that

SP is brought on by a Jinn (a malicious spiritual

being). Although there is no established explanation

for the causes of SP, research has revealed

some potential risk factors, including substance

abuse, stress, trauma, genetic predispositions,

physical sickness, and abnormal sleep habits.

According to some research, 30% of people are

going to experience least one experience in their

lives, and 5% of those episodes will include visual,

aural, and sensory hallucinations.

Sleep paralysis is not only a disorder individually but is also a disorder that can lead to

other sleep disorders of influence the occurence of other sleep disorders. Sleep paralysis

episodes have been linked to health issues such as narcolepsy, seizures, and hypertension.

Like sleep disorders, insomnia, jet lag, African ancestry, being a student, and occupation

have all been linked to sleep paralysis. Some psychiatric problems and those who have

gone through some sort of trauma have been linked to sleep paralysis. A long-term impact

on the victim has not been linked to isolated sleep paralysis. In order to treat sleep paralysis

medically, it is necessary to first diagnose any underlying problems. Greater awareness of

the symptoms if a patient has isolated sleep paralysis , as well as the fact that the condition

is harmless to the person after such an episode. The underlying reason should be treated if it

is linked to other psychiatric conditions or underlying psychological disorders. People could

also receive instruction on good sleeping habits. (Olunu et al., 2018)
