My head feels like it's being electrocuted when I sleep

Most people are unconscious after falling asleep and don’t know what happened to them. But when we sleep in the dormitory, we will wake up the next morning and some roommates will say that someone snored or talked in sleep last night. In fact, we will find that sometimes we have very clear memories of our dreams. So why does the head feel like it’s being electrocuted when we sleep?

The diagnosis of the cause of tinnitus requires a series of examinations, including routine examinations of otolaryngology, audiology examinations, tinnitus tests, etc., and sometimes even some necessary neurological systemic disease examinations. Therefore, patients should go to a regular large hospital to find a professional doctor for diagnosis. Only by finding out the nature, characteristics, and possible lesion sites of tinnitus can a targeted treatment plan be determined.

When people are sleeping, they suddenly feel a heavy weight pressing on them, and they can't breathe. They are neither awake nor asleep. They want to shout but can't, and they want to move but can't. People feel puzzled and terrified, as if there is a transparent object pressing on them. Combined with the dream, it is given a "figurative" name - ghost pressing on them. In fact, this is called "nightmare" in medicine.

Like dreaming, nightmare is also a physiological phenomenon. When a person wakes up suddenly from a dream, part of the nerve center of the brain has woken up, but the nerve center that controls the muscles has not yet woken up completely, so although he feels uncomfortable, he cannot move. At this time, if someone wakes him up or pushes him, the nightmare will disappear immediately.

In fact, this phenomenon is very common. For example, it is impossible for us to clench our fists completely when we just wake up; many people need to wait for a few minutes after waking up. This is because the central nervous system does not work synchronously.

Lying on your back, covering yourself with a thick quilt or placing your hands on your chest, being overly nervous during the day, and eating too much at dinner are all triggers of nightmares. If the listeners are careful, they will find that those who have experienced "ghost paralysis" all lie on their backs. If you sleep on your side and avoid the above-mentioned triggers, you will not have nightmares.
