In Thai, there is a belief when we’re awake but can’t move is caused by ghost sitting on your body. Do you know that ‘ผีอำ’ is actually call ‘Sleep Paralysis’ even though we’re sleeping but the brain doesn’t stop working. The sleep paralysis is the stage that we’re awake and see what’s going on around you but you can’t move or speak. The real cause of this stage is while we’re sleeping in the REM stage which is the stage of sleeping that our brain still working. In that stage our brain will release the hormone that paralyzed our body to prevent accident while we’re dreaming. So the ‘ผีอำ’ or ‘Sleep Paralysis’ is happened because we awakes while our brain still releasing that hormone and if we are lacking of this hormone it’ll also cause the sleep talking too. These lacking and over working of hormone are the sign that something in our body is not working properly.
