“…The point prevalence of SP in the population of Polish students was 33% which does not differ statistically signi cantly from the average worldwide prevalence in students, estimated at 28.3% (chi2 = 0,104). To the best of our knowledge, among other European countries, only Ireland has carried out a study on the student population, with a prevalence rate of SP − 19.9% [55], which is also not statistically signi cantly lower than in our country (chi2 = 0,5) [54]. The highest prevalence in the student population was recorded in Peru namely 55% [55].…”

Background: Sleep paralysis (SP) is a transit dissociative state associated with the REM sleep phase that affects approximately 28.3% of the student population during their lifetime. The reasons for the high prevalence of SP in the student population are not entirely clear. Research indicates possible influencing factors such as the intensification of anxiety symptoms, a tendency to worry, the presence of PTSD symptoms, and behavioral factors such as the consumption of psychoactive substances (caffeine, alcohol, nicotine) and poor sleep hygiene. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of SP and its risk factors in the Polish student population. Methods: The study used a battery online consisting of a set of questionnaires (a personal questionnaire, 2) the SP-EPQ, 3) the PCL -5, 4) the STAI-T, 5) the PSWQ). The questionnaire was sent via Facebook to 4500 randomly selected students from different universities in Poland. The questionnaire was completed by 2598 students. To unify the participant sample, people over 35 were excluded from the study (45 students). Ultimately, data from 2553 students were analyzed. Results: A total of 33.14% of individuals experienced at least one episode of SP in their lives. The highest odds ratio for SP was associated with: the presence of three or more health problems (OR: 2.3; p = 0.002), the presence of any mental disorder (OR: 1.77; p = 0.002), including mood disorders (OR: 2.07 ; p = 0.002), suffering from at least one somatic disorder (OR: 1.34; p = 0.002), a high level of anxiety as a constant personality trait (OR: 1.20; p = 0.035) and smoking (OR: 1.48; p = 0.0002), alcohol consumption (OR: 1.52; p <0.0001), physical activity (OR: 1.31; p = 0.001). Conclusions: The results of our research indicate that a large proportion of students experienced isolated sleep paralysis. Mental and somatic health problems and lifestyle factors were found to predispose to this disorder. Due to the numerous risk factors for SP, it is necessary to conduct additional research to confirm the impact of these factors and to investigate the mechanisms of their influence on SP.

“…Esta situación es una entidad clínica bastante común y benigna, denominada -clínicamente-parálisis del sueño, que consiste en que la persona experimenta una parálisis mientras que el sistema sensorial está activo en la fase que se pasa del sueño a la vigilia, situación que es acompañada de alucinaciones (Jalal & Ramachandran, 2014); su fisiopatología está relacionada con la hipotonía normal, que se percibe durante el sueño y, aparentemente, por un cambio disfuncional existente en el mecanismo que controla la parálisis motora normal del estado de sueño de movimientos oculares rápidos (REM) (Núñez, 2012) y esta situación clínica, se asocia a estrés, deprivación y hábitos irregulares de sueño o la posición al dormir (Huamaní et al 2006). Se estima que entre el 40 y 50% de las personas lo han experimentado al menos una vez en su vida y, de acuerdo a la cultura, se ha asociado a espíritus, demonios, brujas y, recientemente Este fenómeno ha inquietado a la humanidad y se refleja en la pintura.…”

Research indicates possible influencing factors such as the intensification of anxiety symptoms, a tendency to worry, the presence of PTSD symptoms, and behavioral factors such as the consumption of psychoactive substances (caffeine, alcohol, nicotine), sleep deprivations and poor sleep hygiene. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of SP and determine the risk factors for the occurrence of SP in the population of Polish students.
