Sleep paralysis affects 39.6% of people, often starting around age 16. This sleep disorder is more common in women, young individuals, and nursing professionals, and is linked to insomnia.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Sleep paralysis is a complex sleep phenomenon.
  • Understanding its prevalence and associated factors is crucial for public health.
  • Previous research indicates varying incidence rates across different populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the cumulative experience rate of sleep paralysis in a large citizen cohort.
  • To identify demographic and occupational factors associated with sleep paralysis.
  • To explore correlations between sleep paralysis and other sleep-related experiences.

Main Methods:

  • A large-scale sleep survey was administered to 8162 citizens.
  • Data collected included demographics, occupational status, sleep habits, and sleep experiences.

  • Statistical analysis was used to determine prevalence, risk factors, and correlations.

    • Main Results:

    • The cumulative experience rate of sleep paralysis was 39.6%.
    • Peak initial occurrence was at age 16.
    • Higher incidence was observed in women, young individuals, shift workers, and nursing professionals.
    • Significant correlations were found with dreaming frequency, nightmares, sleep regularity, and insomnia severity.

    Conclusions:

    • Sleep paralysis is a common condition with a notable prevalence in the general population.
    • Young individuals, women, shift workers, and nurses are identified as higher-risk groups.
    • Sleep paralysis is strongly associated with poor sleep quality, particularly insomnia and irregular sleep patterns.
