How can people sleep on their back without suffocating when they wake up ?

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why would you suffocate? Do you have untreated severe sleep apnea?

Idk, I just wake up, can't move (somehow I don't have the "strength" to do so) and can barely breath

I just assumed it was this way for everyone

Everything's fine if I sleep on my side

Yeah that's not normal lol

It is not this way for everyone. I'm not a doctor but it sounds like you have sleep paralysis.

Maybe ?

I feel 100% awake and don't have hallucinations.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

I don't think hallucinations happen for everyone with sleep paralysis
