Q: What do I do if I get sleep paralysis? (Kris T.)
A: Hi Kris!
Most people need no treatment for sleep paralysis. Treating any underlying conditions such as narcolepsy may help if you are anxious or unable to sleep well. These treatments may include the following:
Improving sleep habits, such as making sure you get six to eight hours of sleep each night.
Using antidepressant medication if it is prescribed to help regulate sleep cycles.
Treating any mental health problems that may contribute to sleep paralysis. Treating any other sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy or leg cramps.
Good Luck!
Q: How many times a day are people meant to sleep? (Hope J.)
A: Hello Hope!
Our bodies are programmed for two natural periods of sleepiness during a 24-hour day, no matter how much sleep we've had in the previous 24 hours. The primary period is between midnight and 7 a.m., and a second period occurs in the midafternoon, between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Good Question!
