Have you ever woken up after sleeping, unable to move? Maybe you can see figures or shadows around you, or even hear them, but you can't run away or fight back? This is known as sleep paralysis and anyone who has experienced it will know how terrifying it can be.
While sleep paralysis is generally harmless, it can be a sign of, and caused by, more concerning issues. One cause of the sleep condition is stress, a feeling we're all too familiar with in the modern world.
