Sleep Paralysis: What It Is and How to Stop It (Unabridged‪)‬

Sleep paralysis occurs when a person, either while falling asleep or upon awakening, is unable to move—even though they’re fully aware. This often comes with frightening hallucinations and has been called many names worldwide, such as “Old Hag Syndrome” in the West. Some attribute it to mysterious entities known as “Shadow People” or “Hat Man,” while others believe demons or other malevolent spirits are responsible. It’s also thought that certain cases of “alien abductions” or incubus/succubus attacks could actually be severe sleep paralysis episodes.

In this book, Chris White sets out to do what many sleep experts claim is impossible: help people stop sleep paralysis for good. Drawing on extensive research and experience—including his nonprofit websites, videos, and one of the largest surveys ever conducted on the topic—he provides an in-depth explanation of what sleep paralysis is, what causes it, and, most importantly, how to overcome it permanently. Along with detailed methods, the book features personal stories from individuals who have successfully ended their experiences using White’s techniques.
