9ja pple
go talk say na winch
dey press dem
THE "OLD HAG"
SYNDROME
it haz happened 2 80%
of the world's
population, ..at least
once
..this is when you wake
from sleep, ..and you
cannot move, but you
are fully conscious, you
can open you eyes a
little, you can smell, you
can hear, but u cant
move. And there iz a
feeling, that there iz a
certain weight on your
chest (if you are facing
up) or back ..in america,
there waz a myth, .that
an old hag, a witch, sits
on ur chest or back,
datz where the name
originated ..
But after scientific
research, ..the
phenomenon waz
renamed ..SLEEPING
PARALYSIS
when you are asleep,
certain enzymes are
secreted in your body,
to seize most of the
body movement, so
that you dont act out
your dreams ,some
times,..ur brain doesn't
act on time, to inhibit d
enzyme immediately
you wake , especially in
the middle of a
dream ..the enzymes
are still at work, hence,
you won't be able to
move for some time ...
This is the cause of the
feared "old hag
syndrome" .....plz share
your experiences
