In this era of rapid development of science and technology, we always think that science can explain everything, but there are always some mysterious episodes in life that make people scratch their heads, such as the legendary "ghost press". Oh, don't be afraid, it's not a ghost, it's an interesting physiological phenomenon. Today, let's talk about this curious and frightening "ghost press".
First of all, give the "ghost press" a proper name. It's actually called "sleep paralysis", which is a phenomenon that occurs during sleep when the body is temporarily unable to move. While the name may sound a little scary, don't worry, it's not related to ghosts.
So, what does it really feel like to be "ghost-pressed"? Those who have experienced it describe it as if there are a pair of large invisible hands clinging to your legs, and your whole body is immobilized as if you have been immobilized. I wanted to shout for help, but I found that my throat couldn't make a sound as if it was blocked. Although your body is immobile, your consciousness is unusually clear, and you can even hear the sounds around you and see the sights around you. This feeling is usually accompanied by extreme depression and chest tightness, which makes people's hearts straight.
Now the question is, what will happen if you don't resist and struggle if there is a "ghost press"? The answer is: not really. In fact, the "ghost press" is just a normal reaction of the body during the sleep cycle, and it usually lasts for a few minutes before disappearing naturally. If you don't deliberately resist, you can better stay calm and allow your body to recover naturally. Of course, these few minutes can be as long as centuries for those who experience them.
But don't worry, while the "ghost press" sounds scary, it doesn't cause substantial harm to the body. Moreover, this condition usually occurs in people who are stressed and have irregular schedules. Therefore, maintaining good living habits and mentality is the key to preventing "ghost presses".
As for why the "ghost press" mostly occurs in school dormitories, it may be related to the school environment. In school, people like to tell ghost stories to add to the atmosphere, and these stories often make people feel frightened and affect the quality of sleep. Coupled with the noisy dormitory and irregular work and rest, these factors may increase the probability of "ghost pressing".
If you're really scared of "ghost presses", here are a few tips for you to consider: First, try to maintain a comfortable position when sleeping to avoid pressure on your body; Secondly, you can try to sleep with the lights on or find a partner to sleep with, which can increase the sense of security; In the end, maintaining a good mindset and lifestyle habits is the most important thing.
In conclusion, the "ghost press" is not a terrible thing, it is just a normal reaction of the body in a specific situation. As long as we know the truth about it and learn how to deal with it, we won't be bothered by it anymore!
