Sleep paralysis is also commonly accompanied by high levels of fear, feelings of suffocation, and hallucinations (i.e., \u003cbr\u003ewaking dreams). Early interpretations of this event were that it was an actual attack by malevolent and supernatural entities such as demons, ghosts, or witches. Some of these beliefs persist to the present day in the form of nocturnal visitations by extraterrestrials and shadow people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSleep Paralysis: Historical, Psychological, and Medical Perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e offers the first comprehensive examination of sleep paralysis from scientific and cultural perspectives. Drs. Brian Sharpless and Karl Doghramji synthesize the many literatures while providing practical guidance for the diagnosis\u003cbr\u003eand treatment of sleep paralysis.
