Abstract in brief

  • Sleep paralysis occurs when a person awakens during REM sleep atonia, often experiencing vivid hallucinations and fear, especially when it happens independently of other conditions like narcolepsy.
  • Recurrent isolated sleep paralysis is a specific sleep disorder that is not well known outside of sleep specialists, partly because patients may be hesitant to report episodes and because of limited training among clinicians.
  • The article reviews assessment tools, diagnosis tips, and treatment options—including medication and therapy—that need more research to confirm their effectiveness.]
