Description
Summary:Sleep paralysis is a period of paralysis at either sleep onset or upon awakening and is often accompanied by terrifying hallucinations. We report a case of a 32-year-old healthy men with a history of mild positional obstructive sleep apnea and sleep paralysis. The positional sleep apnea was successfully treated with the Sleep Position Trainer. Remarkably, he did no longer experience episodes of sleep paralysis since using the Sleep Position Trainer. This case highlights a possible elegant noninvasive long-term solution for the treatment of sleep paralysis. Cui N, van Looij MA, Kasius KM.
