A few minutes ago I suddenly woke up , I didn’t sleep well
At the beginning everything was normal , then I blinked and …
The lighting suddenly became more yellow (and unnatural) and the closet I was looking at turned into a frightening and shocking appearance (the closet itself, it was vandalized in a way that I can’t even remember to describe). I remained in shock for three or four seconds, then I found myself closing my eyes tightly ( it was an involuntary reaction ), and when I opened my eyes again, everything returned to normal.
This is the first time in my life that this has happened to me
So … any scientific explanation?
Thanks in advance
I’d suggest reading up on parasomnia. It’s a class of disorders including sleep terrors, sleepwalking, nightmare disorder, sleep-related eating disorder, sleep paralysis and others. For my own issues (Night Terrors) I have found that I can largely manage them through lifestyle choices: get enough sleep regularly, don’t stay up too late, don’t drink caffeine in the afternoon/evening, manage stress, keep the sleeping room cool. Finding your own triggers can be useful for managing further episode.
