tindhihen
Last night I happened to get this nightmare. I really hate being in the hopeless condition when you are awake but you cannot move your body or even say something. In Indonesia, they call it as “ketindihan” or in javanese “tindhihen”. It commonly believed it is demon works. The demon laid upon you to make you petrified even you are ‘awake’. It is a freakin HORROR!! I’m scared, of course.. how could you not scare when you’re awake enough to see and feel but you can not move your body neither say a word. Plus , you may see terrifying things.. such as shadows, white flying things, or even hear scary sounds.
The question is? is it really demon works or just a sleep disorder?
Wiki said :
Sleep paralysis is a condition characterized by temporary paralysis of the body shortly after waking up (known as hypnopompic paralysis) or, less often, shortly before falling asleep (known as hypnagogic paralysis).
Physiologically, it is closely related to the normal paralysis that occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, also known as REM atonia. In that, some scientists and physicians believe it to be a “natural” effect of the sleep cycle.
Possible causes are:
- Sleeping in a supine position (facing upwards)
- Irregular sleeping schedules; naps, sleeping in, sleep deprivation
- Increased stress
- Sudden environmental/lifestyle changes
- A lucid dream that immediately precedes the episode. Also conscious induction of sleep paralysis is a common technique to enter a state of lucid dreams, also known as WILD[1] .
- Artificial sleeping aids, ADD medications and/or antihistamines
Yeah right.. No demon works at all!!
