• depression, sleep deprivation, etc)? .
•   Traditional as well as recent (including my decade-long research) investigations have connected psychological and physical stress, anxiety, depression, and particularly sleep deprivation, to SP, even in the so-called normal population (those individuals who only report a couple of SP episodes in their entire lives). ...   Imipramine improves the availability of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is also involved in both "agitated depression" and in REM sleep (and thus in SP). ...
•   I refer to SP as "bounded lucidity" to describe both the paralysis and the self-awareness of the paralysis experience. ...   A supine position is antithetical to the more natural fetal sleeping position, when humans first experience REM sleep. ...   Functionally speaking, sleeping on one's back may preserve a state of vigilance and therefore lead to the greater probability of self-awareness during REM sleep. ...    Once again the dormittal context is not one of "I intend to sleep in a fetal, primal position," but rather one of "Ooops, imagine that, I fell asleep on my couch while waiting for. ...    Kleitman, the co-discoverer of REM sleep (1955), and others have shown that there exists a basic rest activity cycle (BRAC) throughout the 24-hour cycle. ...   Finally, breathing patterns may also be altered while in a supine position, as in the case of sleep apnea, giving rise to sub-optimal, intermittent rest. ...
• With the risk of oversimplifying, SP can be described as the self-awareness that one has slipped into REM sleep.   So in order to understand SP, one has to understand REM sleep.   Rapid Eye Movement sleep, REM, is a concerted co-activation (and deactivation) of several medullar and forebrain systems.   This concerted activation (and deactivation) leads to multiple REM sleep phenomena: inhibition of certain motor neurons; inhibition of sensory input; rapid eye movements; activation of brainstem neurons that control the movement of facial muscles; and important to the hallucinatory experiences associated with SP, the activation of visual pathways.    These events normally occur when neurons in the pons (a medullar structure) become active after a period of non-REM sleep (slow-wave, synchronized sleep). ...   In fact, REM sleep used to be called  "paradoxical sleep" because it resembles beta cortical activity in awake brains during a sequence that is preceded by almost "comatose" cortical non-activity.   At least eight distinct medullar and forebrain structures are known to be involved in sleep and arousal in general, and (at least) three major neurotransmitters mediate operation of these systems (serotonin, acetylcholine, norepinephrine).   To the preceding description one has to add the fact that SP sufferers are able to enter these states bypassing the non-REM stages of sleep. ...
