Adormeces

Adormeces, also known as sleep paralysis, is a phenomenon that occurs during the transition between sleep stages, typically when waking up or falling asleep. During these moments, individuals may experience a temporary inability to move or speak, often accompanied by vivid hallucinations or a sense of being trapped. This condition is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to the brain's transition from REM (rapid eye movement) sleep to wakefulness.

Sleep paralysis can be frightening and disorienting, as the individual may feel as though they are trapped in their own body. It is often accompanied by feelings of dread or panic. The duration of sleep paralysis episodes can vary, ranging from a few seconds to several minutes. After the episode, individuals usually regain their ability to move and speak, and the hallucinations typically disappear.

While sleep paralysis is generally considered a normal part of the sleep cycle, it can be distressing for some individuals. In rare cases, it may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nightmares or sleepwalking. If sleep paralysis becomes a significant problem, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options.
