The fucking worst.
It's your brain being confused. It hasn't gone to sleep yet but your muscles have. So the brain is like: yo leg, you dead? And fucking jolts it. Then he's like "woah no need to freak out. kk we good, we're going to sleep btw". And then you sleep.
I love this explanation so much lol
And then directly into sleep paralysis
This is like ELI5 but better. I just can't put my finger on why
It's relatable and told in a humorous way, it kinda feels like a nice relative telling you a story as a kid
