Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. You wake in the night, fully aware, and discover you cannot move.Something stands at the bedside. There is a weight on your chest. The mind is clear. The body will not obey. Then, after what feels like an eternity, the episode ends and you sit up in an ordinary room, asking what just happened.This experience is far more common than most people imagine, and roughly one person in ten will encounter it at least once. Sleep Paralysis in a Nutshell: Science, Folklore, and the Way Through is a clear, calm, and humane companion for anyone who has met the visitor at the bedside and wants to understand the encounter.In a series of short pieces, the book sets out everything a curious reader needs to know: The neuroscience of REM sleep and the mechanism that briefly leaves the body locked while the mind is awakeThe cross-cultural history of the experience, from the Old Hag of Newfoundland to the Japanese kanashibari, the jinn of the Arabic world, the medieval mare, and the modern alien visitorWhy a presence is so often felt in the room, and how the brain assembles itPractical strategies for what to do during an episode, while it is happeningLong-term steps to make episodes less frequentWhen the experience points to an underlying condition such as narcolepsy, and when to seek medical helpSleep Paralysis in a Nutshell: Science, Folklore, and the Way Through follows the In a Nutshell Press promise of clarity, essence, and application. It does not mystify the experience. It does not dismiss it. It treats the visitor at the bedside with the seriousness the experience deserves, and offers a way through that any reader can use. About the Author Adrian Lee Vaughn is a writer with a background in the cognitive sciences. For many years he has been drawn to the strange territory where neuroscience, folklore, and lived experience overlap, with a particular interest in the way the same biological events have been understood differently across cultures and centuries. His writing focuses on clarity and accessibility. He aims to present complex material from sleep science and the history of belief in a form that intelligent general readers can absorb without specialised training, and to connect timeless human experiences with the everyday lives of those who undergo them.
