Sleep Paralysis. What is it from a scientific perspective?

Approximately 40% of people experience sleep paralysis at some point in their lives. They wake up without any ability to move.

This happens if you awake during a REM sleep when your muscles are paralyzed.

On rare occasions, people report seeing ghostly figures during sleep paralysis.

One hypothesis links this phenomenon to an error in the way our brains construct a body model.

Being unable to sense the paralyzed body, the brain mistakenly looks for it in the wrong place and therefore creates hallucinations.

The most significant risk factors for developing asthma

These are, of course, inhaled substances and particles.
They irritate the mucosa of the respiratory tract, causing an allergic reaction.

The body of asthmatics is hyperreactive to these allergens☝🏻

The most common of these allergens are house dust mites in bedding, and upholstered furniture. And outdoor allergens are flower pollen, mold, and tobacco smoke.

Intestinal peristalsis is the cause of those very abdominal sounds

In order to move the food along the entire length of the intestine, it needs a developed muscular system.
That's exactly what it has👌🏻
The muscles inside the intestinal wall contract, narrowing its lumen, thereby pushing the food lump further.
