Is Sleep Paralysis Dangerous? Myths, Facts, and How to Cope

Is Sleep Paralysis Dangerous?

We’ll explore the causes of sleep paralysis, the symptoms you might experience, and how to stop sleep paralysis using proven behavioral treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i).

These are non-negotiables for me. I work from a C These are non-negotiables for me.

I work from a CBT-i and nervous-system-informed lens, which means I don’t believe sleep improves through pressure, perfection, or constant monitoring.

Most people I work with aren’t doing sleep “wrong.”
They’re just trying too hard in ways that actually keep the brain alert.

Sleep gets better when we:

➡️ reduce effort
➡️ stop chasing certainty
➡️ build consistency
 ➕ let the brain relearn that night isn’t a problem to solve

If this list made you pause or feel relieved, save it.

Somewhere along the way, we learned that feeling t Somewhere along the way, we learned that feeling tired means we’ve failed.

That we need to fix it immediately. And that we won’t be able to handle the day.

But tired is just a normal human state.
It’s uncomfortable, yes.
But it’s not dangerous.

➡️ You can feel tired and still function.
➡️ You can feel tired and still have a decent day.
➡️ You can feel tired and still be okay. 

A big part of insomnia recovery is not just sleeping better… It’s building more trust in yourself on the days after imperfect nights.

Because when your brain stops fearing fatigue, sleep has room to return. 💤

✨ If you’ve been scared of feeling tired, you’re not weak. You’re wired for survival. And this is something you can retrain.

Nothing urgent.
Nothing useful.
Just the most random thoughts possible.

The day gets quiet.
The brain gets loud.

Sleep trackers can be interesting and sometimes he Sleep trackers can be interesting and sometimes helpful.
But when they start telling you how you should feel about your sleep… things get messy fast 😅

Analyzing every data point or checking your sleep score before you even get out of bed can quietly turn sleep into a performance review.

And sleep does not thrive under pressure.

More data does not always equal better sleep. In fact, for many people it creates more worry, more monitoring, and more second-guessing… which is the exact opposite of what sleep needs.

Just because a tool exists doesn’t mean it’s the right solution for your sleep.

If you want realistic, evidence-based sleep help (without the pressure), follow along 💛
