I keep getting sleep paralysis (demons). how can i prevent this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Paralysis is normal during rem sleep. If you have demons i would suggest seeing someone that can remove them.. However i know of no scientific papers that would support or not support doing so. For other sleep issues a sleep specialist or psychiatrist might be appropriate.
