Macabre Medicine (Pilot) - Sleep Paralysis

<p>Imagine, it&#39;s nighttime, you wake from sleep, but you can&#39;t move! There&#39;s something in the corner of the room and it&#39;s coming closer. You want to scream, but can&#39;t. What the heck is going on? Is this a ghost, a demon, or something else going on?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Hi, I&#39;m Dr. Natasha Glover, a psychiatry resident from Canada. Join me for this wild pilot and learn about spooky medicine. </p> <p><br></p> <p>References: </p> <p><a href="https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/guide/sleep-paralysis#1">https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/guide/sleep-paralysis#1</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/sleep-paralysis/">https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/sleep-paralysis/</a></p> <p>De Sá JFR, Mota-Rolim SA.
