Why does sleep paralysis occur: causes, symptoms and how to prevent it from happening while you sleep

Sleep paralysis is a neurological disorder occurring when a person enters or exits sleep, characterized by the brain waking up while the body remains paralyzed for periods lasting from seconds to minutes. This condition is caused by a desynchronization between the mind and voluntary muscles, leading to common experiences often colloquially referred to as 'el muerto'.

Beyond sleep health reporting, related educational and technological initiatives in the region include experts formulating an urgent roadmap to transform education in Peru, presented at the CADE Educación congress for state and regional authorities. Additionally, researchers at Aalto University developed an artificial intelligence model designed to replicate brain decisions during reading to better understand dyslexia and text comprehension.
