I have a disease that leaves me bedridden and moving the wrong way/remaining in the wrong position can cause excruciating pain for weeks, and I am chronically, 100%, all of the time, unable to sleep at all without extremely potent black market tranquilizers. I too am simply a watcher of history, with no agency in it, knowing I cannot participate in it, nor will I have any discernable impact on the future. In essence, in the "If a tree falls in the woods..." sense, I barely exist. I know it isn't 1 for 1 the same, but even just having my agency limited as it is, unable to work, dream, or function as a normal person... is horrible and fucking depressing. Especially since I had one of the worst spans of adolescence anyone living in the US today could have. I'm talking torture-r*pe bad, not even old enough to vote, nobody caring, no support system, surviving psychologically only on the fantasy of killing the one doing that to me, or of him killing me and ending that existence. ... It sucks. But this, Menengitis Lethargica, must be so much worse. Hearing about this actually makes me look at my situation and go "Yeah, I don't have it so bad".

My wife suffers from catatonic depression that has eerily similar symptoms to this. When she goes catatonic, she is completely aware, but unable to do anything at all. Her body locks up and goes rigid Right now, medication can bring her out of it, but we are both scared about a day when she doesn't come back out of it. I can only imagine how terrible it was to be sent to a facility and left alone for years and years back when this disease was occurring.
i thought abt catatonia as well while watching this! i’ve been catatonic before as well, just once, n it was absolutely terrifying. i feel for ur wife, n i hope the possibility of her never coming out of it doesn’t ever come true
Ma man did a 16 minute video about how you can go to sleep and never wake up and ended the video by saying have a good night Not Cool Disrupt Not Cool hahaha
this is one of my biggest fears, not necessarily dying, but going to sleep and not waking up for years or being in a coma like state for a long time. It freaks me out knowing how much I'd miss.
The weird thing about sleep paralysis is that it always feels like you are stuck there for a long time, but it only lasts for a couple of seconds. But that is enough. It's terrifying. Having it lasting for years is actually hell on earth.
Yeah, because it's a dream and dreams are fricking stretchy. I frequently wake up 10 minutes before alarm, then fall asleep again and manage to experience a 1.5-2 hour film before making up exactly with alarm.
I have a few sleep paralysis and GAWD is it scary. Trying to scream and move and yes seems like forever when its only a.few seconds? I come around and cry cuz its just so freaking weird creepy and other worldly
Had my first sleep paralysis when I was in elementary. Can't move and breathe. Was horrible. I was trying to call my mom for help but can't speak and move my mouth! So I just focused on breathing and woke up. Tense situations takes forever.
Wouldn't it be funny if the TikTok kids got sleepy sickness because of the vaxxing? (I guess that's dark....but really, think about them and their woke neck-tattooed life experience disappearing and to wake up and see the world has regained its senses? What a great movie that would make. I should pitch it.)
If you work nightshifts and sleep in the day, when you feel like you can't move, breathe and just wanna wake up, just relax into it and picture yourself flying or dominating your fear. The rush is nice and you won't be scared of it anymore. Controlling your rem dream state is one thing, Locked in syndrome is something very different.
I experience a lot of sleep paralysis (usually theres no halucinations though) if anybody needs advice yes, definetly try from the tips of your fingers. Its not an always fix but work from your finger tips to your arm. Try your best to move something and control your breathing. Its hard to stay calm but I myself usually try to stay calm. Tho sometimes I have it while I'm in a position where I cant breathe that well, and thats a time where you should get up as soon as possible. Though if youre laying on your back, staying calm and doing your best to move is more ideal in my experience. Hope this helps :"D
Yeah, when I get sleep paralysis I found that to be the best way to deal with it. If you fight it, it just last longer, and you panic, but can't take deep panic breaths (since the paralysis has you stuck on the standard slow breathing of sleep). If you just sort of submit and will yourself to relax, your body snaps out of it. God damn the first time it happened I thought I was having a seizure or something.
You snuggle up in your bed as your mom kisses you goodnight. You fall asleep. What feels like only a few hours later, you wake up. Disoriented you look around. You’re in a completely unfamiliar room. You’re grown up now. You start crying in confusion and fear… ye i cannot imagine it to be pleasant.
@@notanonymous3976 you wouldn't you would die suffocating on the first day. but being aware of your surroundings and seeing yourself getting buried the entire time while internally screaming for hours is hella scary.
Imagine surviving years of constant artillery barrages, gas attacks, trench assaults, bombs, and battlefield diseases only to return home and get taken out by the Spanish Flu or this disease we learned about in the video. We may think our times are bad, but really I am glad to be living in the 2020s - even with COVID-19.
My mother passed away from (most likely) encephalitis a few years ago.Once I realized the condition the video was talking about was encephalitis...I had to stop watching because it became too painful to relive the weeks of being next to her hospital bed: slowly watching her become more pallid and emaciated as her life slowly fizzled away. It was so sudden, that we went from being hopeful that it was just the flu and expecting her to make a recovery to watching her casket being swallowed by the earth in the span of a few short months. Provided they're not terrible people, please don't take your parents for granted- you may not realize how important they are until it is too late.
This reminds me of the concept to the movie “Johnny Got His Gun” (The movie from Metallica’s One music video) The man couldn’t see, hear, or speak, and had no limbs but was fully aware of his thoughts
Exactly! 'I can't remember anything, can't tell if this is true or dream, deep down inside I feel to scream this terrible silence stops me... Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell...'
I've been there before. I used to have extremely lucid/intense nightmares where I would actually convince myself the pain I felt in my sleep was real. I would wake up crying and when it was time for me to lay down I would stay on my phone or watch tv until I couldn't physically manage to keep myself awake any more.
I sleep with my door closed, sometimes locked. I get sleep paralysis when it's opened a crack because shadowy objects are always lurking there before they pounce on me. I've had sleep paralysis enough times that I am afraid to sleep under certain conditions where I'm potentially vulnerable. If I don't feel safe enough to fall asleep I just won't fall asleep that night. I've noticed that if I'm in a state where I'm dozing off but trying to keep myself awake it can cause sleep paralysis. This would be like in the evening after work and school. Can't even get a nap. Also I notice I get sleep paralysis if circulation is cut off to one of my limbs such that it goes numb. Maybe the psychology of being physically paralyzed seeps into the dream world, induces a panic and causes the dream to turn dark. A part of my unconscious is trying to turn myself over in my sleep, but can't do it and panics to snap me out of it. Usually they end with me realizing I'm dreaming and screaming in my dream to wake up, and then I wake up in a jolt feeling like I fell out of the sky onto my bed. The really convincing one's will have me wake up yelling at whoever is at my door. Sometimes I think I'm having a sleep paralysis but I'm actually still awake and will yell at the door, get up and turn the lights on. I blame my family for scaring me when I was a child in my sleep by sneaking into my room and pouncing on me. I was under ten and had associated unlocked room doors with the potential to be scared. They have to be locked because in my dreams they can open the doors, but if I know it's locked I know they can't get in and I sleep fine.
There's a disease called Fatal Familial Insomnia which results in those afflicted being unable to sleep, ever, and they die as a result of it some months later. It's a prion disease that comes on in late middle age, runs in families and is 100% fatal.
Most of Oliver Sacks books are wonderful, but His book "Awakened" (I believe?) Is on encephalitis Lethargica, and the treatment of it using L.Dopa... it's a sad read, as slowly the drug would work less and less as patients could feel themselves slow down and lose their lives again
That actually sound very interesting, what's the basic story?? Is it actually a guy who got like brain damage or something and ended up trying to wear his wife as a hat?? Lol, that's sounds funny but it sounds definitely very sad.
Drl Oliver Sacks' work was amazing. he had no intention of creating "inspiration porn." He was trying to highlight the ways people adapted to situation. we need more doctors like him in this world.
Never being able to wake up for sure would be more terrifying, IF you're even somewhat conscious. The human subconscious can easily become a hell and it feels like eternity when you're stuck in it. The moment you feel fear, or even think you might, the subconscious will manifest it. If you remember any nightmares: the monster shows up when you start feeling afraid. Or just assume it's going to. But the mind does adapt even in the subconscious. I got so sick of the shear terror that when the monster, whatever it may manifest as, shows up I get angry at the discomfort. Straight up had enough, that's the emotion that starts giving me control. Still our primal subconscious will try fear inevitably at some point, and no amount of lucid skills someone has will change those attempts.
This reminds me of an episode of 'House' where Mos Def had 'locked in syndrome'. Cognizant of your surroundings, able to feel pain, but completely paralyzed. Utterly terrifying. I can't think of anything worse.
@@L.K.48 No. Mos Def the artist. He's too good to be labeled as a rapper. That being said, are there other Mos Defs running around out there that I'm not aware of? 😉
@@mydogniko my bad, Mos Def the artist. Not that I'm aware of, no. I thought he maybe shortened "most definitely", not that it would make much sense. I guess I should watch that episode
For anyone suffering with sleep paralysis I find coming to a better understanding of why it happens gets rid of the fear, in my case it did anyways. I still get sleep paralysis from time to time I just don't get scared anymore. I recommend researching rem sleep. Also I highly recommend trying to use it as a way to lucid dream
oh yeah, lucid dreaming can be hard, so if you wanna try, you could WBTB or Wake Back to Bed, usually you sleep for about 3-5 hours then wake up, and go back to sleep.
I still wake up with some minor arm/leg paralysis. It can be spooky initially, but once you know whats happening its alot less scary and alot more annoying.
imagine being a 1910s survivor of this horrific disease,you wake up in 2022,you go into the streets and you see a blue-haired girl yelling at a child for "deadnaming" her
Every video of yours feels like it's better than the others. Amazing production, amazing writing, amazing ad placement. These videos are just flawless.
I got sleep paralysis a few nights ago and it was probably one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me. I can't imagine what these people must have gone through.
What caught my attention about this is the fact that it came around during and after the Spanish flu, which is definitely not at all reminiscent of another certain pandemic…
When I get sleep paralysis I'm just like "oh, this again" and wake up without much of a fight. Though if I try to lucid dream shit goes off the rails quick. What works for me is staying calm and understanding what's going on, but I understand why that may be hard for others.
Sleep paralysis is my greatest fear. I have it often. Sometimes twice in one night. If I have it nowadays when I come out of it I grab the high powered amphetamines in my nightstand and that’s it for sleep that night. Whatever negative effects I could have from the speed is nothing compared to the PTSD I get from the sleep paralysis. It’s beyond terrifying
The sleepy sickness Is what happened to Arnold's parents in the jungle from 'hey Arnold' does anyone else remember this from the special when Arnold and his classmates go to the jungle where the green eyed people lived for a school trip??? If you remember this shout out to you!
@@cake6420 I could never understand why he got called that anyway. His head wasn't round and it's not like calling someone "round head" is some big insult.
It makes sense the l-dopa proved to be a solution. Often, an early warning sign of Parkinson’s or dementia is shaking during sleep. It seems that if there is something disrupting sleep quality or ones ability to induce self-paralysis during sleep, then this has directly to do with dopamine. Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter thats effected by Parkinson’s. It’s also the primary chemical impacted by l-dopa.
This is literally me every single night. I go to bed i get sleep paralysis i cant breathe, i cant move and i cant see. I start to shake and try to make noises so my family or girlfriend could comfort me while im suffering. I always end up waking up to no air left in me. It always feels like near death experience. It scares me that i could end up like them or just casually pass away
It happens to me fairly often, try Learning about it more. Once you understand the illusions can't hurt you and why it happens. Try focusing on your heart beat
You can only be pronounced dead if you have no heartbeat, no breathing and no brain activity. If your brains get blown out but your heart keep beating you’re technically not dead
I can’t help but apply this to current events, as in what if there will be all sorts of symptoms of covid after you’ve had it that we don’t even know about yet.
Had sleep paralysis once but I could still move. I heard my family awake watching tv in the morning. I look are the window and it’s daylight so I walk out to have breakfast. I sit on the couch and as I look over to say hi to my nan, all of a sudden it was dark, tv off and no one awake. Looked at the time on my phone and it was around 2:30am Was really freaked out after that
@@polpnorbit I was really confused, but if had fully understood what I went through I would’ve had a mental breakdown or something. I just thought it was a dream, or some part of me figured out it was real but I just couldn’t care. I only looked back recently and though yeah that’s creepy. Also I had lots of ghost paranoia (ghost in my room kinda stuff) at that house but I doubt that it has anything to do with it.
I was in a coma for 6 months, when I was just 13 years old I was nearly killed by a dog attack. I lost so much blood and my abdomen was ripped open so bad that I got sepsis any my wounds on my arms and legs were so bad that I had to be revived at the hospital and I was placed in a medical induced coma. When I woke up I had absolutely no clue that so much time had passed and I literally thought I had just got to the hospital, when I looked at my arms and legs they were noticeably more skinny and very pale and even still it took many people to finally convince me that I had actually been in a coma and 6 months had passed since my injury. Even after all that time in the coma I woke up and still had open wounds on my arms and body that were gruesome to have to see every day. To this day I still love dogs and I've never been afraid of them even after that traumatic experience but I do have some pretty bad PTSD that gets triggered every once in a while
Oliver Sack's Awakenings is an amazing book, the movie was one of Robin William's more serious roles and is also very good, definitely recommend to anyone interested
Interesting. I know someone that is turning into a statue but it isn't the same as Encephalitis Lethargica, Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments are gradually replaced by bone (ossified), forming bone outside the skeleton (extra-skeletal or heterotopic bone) that constrains movement.
I used to get sleep paralysis a lot. Sometimes its just annoying. Other times its absolutely terrifying. You feel like you're choking to death. You just pass back out sometimes. Sometimes you see things. I used to see a gkant spider crawl up my body towards my face and id pass out. You cant move. Youre just locked in place. I cant imagine dying this way.
this is basically what i have , i am so scared of sleeping nowadays its just torture everyday its a blessing to stay up so late you pass out entirely; sure you wake up exhausted but its like sleeping in Minecraft without monsters nearby.(minus the actual illness, I just get sleep paralysis everyday for the past 3 years)
I recommend reading about why it happens, this helped me get rid of the fear. You can also escape by wiggling your fingers and toes. If you end up getting use to it you can also turn it into a lucid dream
Just about a week or two ago, I had strep throat. You're telling me that there's a mutation that can basically make me a body pillow for decades, or even permanently? I DON'T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING.
Yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with videos on rare modical occurrences, on the one hand, it’s fun to watch, but in the other hand if you feel sick at all you really start worrying.
I would say possibly worse. At least people in solitary confinement can move, walk around (to a very limited extent) and talk to, well, anything or anyone atleast. Both of these sound awful , I’d not want to be put into any of these situations but if I had a gun to my head to choose I think I’d take being locked up in solitary confinement. But I haven’t read that SCP so I’m going based more off what I know of solitary confinement in prisons . It’s brutal and some people can get out in there for weeks to months in some cases.
@@MrAaaaazzzzz00009999 why does it matter ? If I had interest in reading I would have. That comes off as if I’m doing something wrong by not knowing, I literally said I didn’t read it so I’m just going based off what I speculate. I’ll comment on whatever I want, thank you. Don’t act like I’m spreading misinformation or something
@@bigboysdotcom745 covid is such a recently discovered illness and we don't know what long term effects it may have. I don't know that it will be as bad but if it can make you lose smell and taste, then it affects the nervous system. Not to mention the symptoms of "long covid".
i've had covid but even during time of being sick i can still taste stuff fine, though the headache during that time was probably my worst one yet, it's hurt so bad that i can't even sit looking at the screen for 5 minutes without having to lay down again, could be because i have some sleep deprivation at the time, lucky i got the vaccines prior otherwise who knows how much worse it can get !
Like Myoencephalitits. I would sleep for 17 hours, wake up to pee. Eat, napping where ever I was, feel horrendous, aches, restless legs, confusion and back to a non restful sleep for another 17 hours that felt like a void. Horrid.
It's so weird that I got recommended this video, I have just finished (re)reading Awakenings (Oliver Sacks' book about giving L-Dopa to Encephalitis Lethargica sufferers in the late 60s-early 70s). It is something I have always been interested in, as well as related Parkinsonian disorders, and was actually one of the things that made me want to go into the field of neurology. I'd recommend the book to anybody who saw this video and wanted to know more about the patients themselves who had suffered from the disorder, it's pretty easy for the average person to read and has a lot of footnotes to add additional context.
6:13 this scenario described here, omg, I kid you not, I legitimately had this EXACT dream about 8 years ago in my college dorm. I didn't even know about this sickness at the time!! In the dream, after minor sore throat and fever, I woke up some 12 years later and didn't recognize anyone or anything. I didn't even know how to cross the street. It was my most traumatizing dream/nightmare ever. I remember it to this day, very vividly. How the hell did I dream about this exact condition without knowing about it!?!
My great grandfather nearly passed away from the Spanish Flu during the war. I can’t even begin to imagine what would’ve happened had he fallen victim to long-term sleep paralysis
I experienced a short amount of sleep paralysis last week when I randomly semi-woke up at night, very scary stuff, I tried to scream for help but couldn't, felt like a body was on top of me. But I calmed myself down since I knew what was going on. I'm pretty sure this happened because I smoked too much weed a few days prior
Uhh never heard of weed doing that. When it happens try your best not to freak out, try to fall back asleep if possible. I find myself able to focus myself enough to kind of jult myself up
@@xUltimatexInstinctx Yeah I think I was freaking out only because I was in a half-conscious state still in my dream, once I actually woke up I stopped trying to scream lol. I only mentioned I think it was the weed because I heard that if you smoke it like 3-5 days in a row, then you don't for like a week, then you might start getting really vivid and strange dreams before things get back to normal.. I think I heard that on scishow haha. Well that happens to me anyway
I bet it was the weed it might of messed with the brain chemicals responsible for paralyzing you’re body during sleep and it took a few days for you’re body to get back to normal We ALL have sleep paralysis every single night it’s what prevents u from acting out you’re dreams people who sleep walk lack the paralyzing chemicals How sleep paralysis happens when we’re awake our brain wakes up before the chemicals have left our body and it takes a few seconds to a few minute for them to wear off enough to move again the hallucinations are a byproduct of the chemicals it tricks you’re brain into thinking you’re still dreaming
So this is what the patients in the movie "Awakenings" had. The doctor (played by the late Robin Williams) researched the past of these patients and found that they had contracted a form of encephalitis at some point in their lives.
'Oh damn... I was asleep for that long? Well, at least the war is over...' 'Wait what? You're telling me... The Germans are at it again?' 'God dammit...'
A word of advice..if you get sleep paralysis a lot then ask your doctor for a CPAP machine.. it has helped me tremendously I use to get sleep paralysis almost every night but now with my CPAP I very rarely get any sleep paralysis and if I do it's mild and easy to break out of.

If you fight it, it just last longer, and you panic, but can't take deep panic breaths (since the paralysis has you stuck on the standard slow breathing of sleep).

My mother passed away from (most likely) encephalitis a few years ago.Once I realized the condition the video was talking about was encephalitis...I had to stop watching because it became too painful to relive the weeks of being next to her hospital bed: slowly watching her become more pallid and emaciated as her life slowly fizzled away. It was so sudden, that we went from being hopeful that it was just the flu and expecting her to make a recovery to watching her casket being swallowed by the earth in the span of a few short months. Provided they're not terrible people, please don't take your parents for granted- you may not realize how important they are until it is too late.
This reminds me of the concept to the movie “Johnny Got His Gun”
(The movie from Metallica’s One music video)
The man couldn’t see, hear, or speak, and had no limbs but was fully aware of his thoughts
And like the song said as I remember they wouldn’t let him die either. It’s truly horrifying
Exactly! 'I can't remember anything, can't tell if this is true or dream, deep down inside I feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me... Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell...'

Imagine getting traumatized by sleeping and never being able to sleep again.
have fun passing out of sheer exaustion
I've been there before. I used to have extremely lucid/intense nightmares where I would actually convince myself the pain I felt in my sleep was real. I would wake up crying and when it was time for me to lay down I would stay on my phone or watch tv until I couldn't physically manage to keep myself awake any more.
Nightmares causing panic attacks you wake up to is traumatising enough, or maybe I just have it easy. -_- Nightmares by themselves are bad enough.
I sleep with my door closed, sometimes locked. I get sleep paralysis when it's opened a crack because shadowy objects are always lurking there before they pounce on me. I've had sleep paralysis enough times that I am afraid to sleep under certain conditions where I'm potentially vulnerable. If I don't feel safe enough to fall asleep I just won't fall asleep that night.
I've noticed that if I'm in a state where I'm dozing off but trying to keep myself awake it can cause sleep paralysis. This would be like in the evening after work and school. Can't even get a nap.
Also I notice I get sleep paralysis if circulation is cut off to one of my limbs such that it goes numb. Maybe the psychology of being physically paralyzed seeps into the dream world, induces a panic and causes the dream to turn dark. A part of my unconscious is trying to turn myself over in my sleep, but can't do it and panics to snap me out of it. Usually they end with me realizing I'm dreaming and screaming in my dream to wake up, and then I wake up in a jolt feeling like I fell out of the sky onto my bed. The really convincing one's will have me wake up yelling at whoever is at my door. Sometimes I think I'm having a sleep paralysis but I'm actually still awake and will yell at the door, get up and turn the lights on.
I blame my family for scaring me when I was a child in my sleep by sneaking into my room and pouncing on me. I was under ten and had associated unlocked room doors with the potential to be scared. They have to be locked because in my dreams they can open the doors, but if I know it's locked I know they can't get in and I sleep fine.
There's a disease called Fatal Familial Insomnia which results in those afflicted being unable to sleep, ever, and they die as a result of it some months later. It's a prion disease that comes on in late middle age, runs in families and is 100% fatal.
If you liked this, I’d recommend Oliver Sacks’ book ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat’. It’s a really accessible look at neurological phenomena.
Most of Oliver Sacks books are wonderful, but His book "Awakened" (I believe?) Is on encephalitis Lethargica, and the treatment of it using L.Dopa... it's a sad read, as slowly the drug would work less and less as patients could feel themselves slow down and lose their lives again

That actually sound very interesting, what's the basic story?? Is it actually a guy who got like brain damage or something and ended up trying to wear his wife as a hat?? Lol, that's sounds funny but it sounds definitely very sad.
Drl Oliver Sacks' work was amazing. he had no intention of creating "inspiration porn." He was trying to highlight the ways people adapted to situation. we need more doctors like him in this world.
what’s worse? not being able to ever wake up, or not ever being able to sleep? Because both exist and it’s terrifying.
I'd rather never be able to sleep I'd die quicker then
Never being able to wake up for sure would be more terrifying, IF you're even somewhat conscious. The human subconscious can easily become a hell and it feels like eternity when you're stuck in it. The moment you feel fear, or even think you might, the subconscious will manifest it. If you remember any nightmares: the monster shows up when you start feeling afraid. Or just assume it's going to.
But the mind does adapt even in the subconscious. I got so sick of the shear terror that when the monster, whatever it may manifest as, shows up I get angry at the discomfort. Straight up had enough, that's the emotion that starts giving me control. Still our primal subconscious will try fear inevitably at some point, and no amount of lucid skills someone has will change those attempts.
Probably should not watch that before going to sleep. Damn thats scary.

For anyone suffering with sleep paralysis I find coming to a better understanding of why it happens gets rid of the fear, in my case it did anyways. I still get sleep paralysis from time to time I just don't get scared anymore.
I recommend researching rem sleep. Also I highly recommend trying to use it as a way to lucid dream
Just don't sleep tf
lol yeah knowing about it makes it become less "holy shit what's happening am i going to die" and more "ugh not this shit again"
oh yeah, lucid dreaming can be hard, so if you wanna try, you could WBTB or Wake Back to Bed, usually you sleep for about 3-5 hours then wake up, and go back to sleep.
I still wake up with some minor arm/leg paralysis. It can be spooky initially, but once you know whats happening its alot less scary and alot more annoying.

@Miles Doyle I dont see why some Christians feel the need to do this on content not linked to religion.
@Miles Doyle Ever heard of a paragraph before?
When I get sleep paralysis I'm just like "oh, this again" and wake up without much of a fight. Though if I try to lucid dream shit goes off the rails quick. What works for me is staying calm and understanding what's going on, but I understand why that may be hard for others.
When you wake up with sleep paralysis then try to lucid dream, do you just close your eyes again to become lucid?
Sleep paralysis is my greatest fear. I have it often. Sometimes twice in one night. If I have it nowadays when I come out of it I grab the high powered amphetamines in my nightstand and that’s it for sleep that night. Whatever negative effects I could have from the speed is nothing compared to the PTSD I get from the sleep paralysis. It’s beyond terrifying
As someone who also sufferes from sleep paralysis on an almost nightly basis I don't blame you

@Miles Doyle wow this made me abort my child
It makes sense the l-dopa proved to be a solution. Often, an early warning sign of Parkinson’s or dementia is shaking during sleep. It seems that if there is something disrupting sleep quality or ones ability to induce self-paralysis during sleep, then this has directly to do with dopamine. Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter thats effected by Parkinson’s. It’s also the primary chemical impacted by l-dopa.
Miles Doyle Jesus Christ.
@Miles Doyle cut it out dude. People aren't receptive to walls of preaching. 🙂
@Miles Doyle fun fact:
Nobody read this
This is literally me every single night. I go to bed i get sleep paralysis i cant breathe, i cant move and i cant see. I start to shake and try to make noises so my family or girlfriend could comfort me while im suffering. I always end up waking up to no air left in me. It always feels like near death experience. It scares me that i could end up like them or just casually pass away
Have you gone to a specialist about it?
Somehow I don't think that's normal for it to happen every night. Also, look into "sleep apnea", not breathing is a symptom for that, too.
That happens to me too but with me it’s even worse because on top of the not breathing I get a really loud ringing in my ears that hurts alot
It happens to me fairly often, try Learning about it more. Once you understand the illusions can't hurt you and why it happens. Try focusing on your heart beat

I was in a coma for 6 months, when I was just 13 years old I was nearly killed by a dog attack. I lost so much blood and my abdomen was ripped open so bad that I got sepsis any my wounds on my arms and legs were so bad that I had to be revived at the hospital and I was placed in a medical induced coma. When I woke up I had absolutely no clue that so much time had passed and I literally thought I had just got to the hospital, when I looked at my arms and legs they were noticeably more skinny and very pale and even still it took many people to finally convince me that I had actually been in a coma and 6 months had passed since my injury. Even after all that time in the coma I woke up and still had open wounds on my arms and body that were gruesome to have to see every day. To this day I still love dogs and I've never been afraid of them even after that traumatic experience but I do have some pretty bad PTSD that gets triggered every once in a while
Imagine a doctor actually caring what your symptoms are. That is more fantastical than the disease.

Interesting. I know someone that is turning into a statue but it isn't the same as Encephalitis Lethargica,
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments are gradually replaced by bone (ossified), forming bone outside the skeleton (extra-skeletal or heterotopic bone) that constrains movement.
do they die,
thats terrifying
That is one hell of a disease. I think I would just kill myself before I got fully stuck. The pain must be horrific.
That PIA promo was just **chef’s kiss**
I used to get sleep paralysis a lot. Sometimes its just annoying. Other times its absolutely terrifying. You feel like you're choking to death. You just pass back out sometimes. Sometimes you see things. I used to see a gkant spider crawl up my body towards my face and id pass out. You cant move. Youre just locked in place. I cant imagine dying this way.
this is basically what i have
, i am so scared of sleeping nowadays its just torture everyday its a blessing to stay up so late you pass out entirely; sure you wake up exhausted but its like sleeping in Minecraft without monsters nearby.(minus the actual illness, I just get sleep paralysis everyday for the past 3 years)
If you are scared of going to sleep I would recommend you look into a substance called Crystal Methamphetamine. You will never have to sleep again.
yeah man ocd sucks
I recommend reading about why it happens, this helped me get rid of the fear. You can also escape by wiggling your fingers and toes. If you end up getting use to it you can also turn it into a lucid dream
i recommend taking 5-htp if you haven't tried it already

damn, this sleep paralysis is like the true solitary confinement SCP being real. totally concious but unable to do anything for years.
I would say possibly worse. At least people in solitary confinement can move, walk around (to a very limited extent) and talk to, well, anything or anyone atleast. Both of these sound awful , I’d not want to be put into any of these situations but if I had a gun to my head to choose I think I’d take being locked up in solitary confinement. But I haven’t read that SCP so I’m going based more off what I know of solitary confinement in prisons . It’s brutal and some people can get out in there for weeks to months in some cases.

i've had covid but even during time of being sick i can still taste stuff fine, though the headache during that time was probably my worst one yet, it's hurt so bad that i can't even sit looking at the screen for 5 minutes without having to lay down again, could be because i have some sleep deprivation at the time, lucky i got the vaccines prior otherwise who knows how much worse it can get !
Like Myoencephalitits. I would sleep for 17 hours, wake up to pee. Eat, napping where ever I was, feel horrendous, aches, restless legs, confusion and back to a non restful sleep for another 17 hours that felt like a void. Horrid.
It's so weird that I got recommended this video, I have just finished (re)reading Awakenings (Oliver Sacks' book about giving L-Dopa to Encephalitis Lethargica sufferers in the late 60s-early 70s). It is something I have always been interested in, as well as related Parkinsonian disorders, and was actually one of the things that made me want to go into the field of neurology. I'd recommend the book to anybody who saw this video and wanted to know more about the patients themselves who had suffered from the disorder, it's pretty easy for the average person to read and has a lot of footnotes to add additional context.

Best channel. Hands down.
6:13 this scenario described here, omg, I kid you not, I legitimately had this EXACT dream about 8 years ago in my college dorm. I didn't even know about this sickness at the time!! In the dream, after minor sore throat and fever, I woke up some 12 years later and didn't recognize anyone or anything. I didn't even know how to cross the street. It was my most traumatizing dream/nightmare ever. I remember it to this day, very vividly. How the hell did I dream about this exact condition without knowing about it!?!
My great grandfather nearly passed away from the Spanish Flu during the war. I can’t even begin to imagine what would’ve happened had he fallen victim to long-term sleep paralysis
According to the movie at least, the patients were not aware of their surroundings when asleep. They had no memories of when they were asleep.
The computer in hibernation mode for 14 years be like:
I experienced a short amount of sleep paralysis last week when I randomly semi-woke up at night, very scary stuff, I tried to scream for help but couldn't, felt like a body was on top of me. But I calmed myself down since I knew what was going on. I'm pretty sure this happened because I smoked too much weed a few days prior
Uhh never heard of weed doing that. When it happens try your best not to freak out, try to fall back asleep if possible. I find myself able to focus myself enough to kind of jult myself up
@@xUltimatexInstinctx Yeah I think I was freaking out only because I was in a half-conscious state still in my dream, once I actually woke up I stopped trying to scream lol.
I only mentioned I think it was the weed because I heard that if you smoke it like 3-5 days in a row, then you don't for like a week, then you might start getting really vivid and strange dreams before things get back to normal.. I think I heard that on scishow haha. Well that happens to me anyway
I bet it was the weed it might of messed with the brain chemicals responsible for paralyzing you’re body during sleep and it took a few days for you’re body to get back to normal
We ALL have sleep paralysis every single night it’s what prevents u from acting out you’re dreams people who sleep walk lack the paralyzing chemicals
How sleep paralysis happens when we’re awake our brain wakes up before the chemicals have left our body and it takes a few seconds to a few minute for them to wear off enough to move again the hallucinations are a byproduct of the chemicals it tricks you’re brain into thinking you’re still dreaming
Now I'm curious about how this connects to Long COVID
Just thinking the same
Admit it: After watching this you might be more scared to be revived than to die
Going to sleep and never waking up sounds kinda great ngl
But becoming totally aware of it, isn’t really that great
So this is what the patients in the movie "Awakenings" had. The doctor (played by the late Robin Williams) researched the past of these patients and found that they had contracted a form of encephalitis at some point in their lives.
describing dr stone plot for 16 minutes
I was thinking the same thing.
'Oh damn... I was asleep for that long? Well, at least the war is over...'
'Wait what? You're telling me... The Germans are at it again?'
'God dammit...'
A word of advice..if you get sleep paralysis a lot then ask your doctor for a CPAP machine.. it has helped me tremendously I use to get sleep paralysis almost every night but now with my CPAP I very rarely get any sleep paralysis and if I do it's mild and easy to break out of.
Basically death, but you're still awake.
