Revisiting the psychophysiological pathways: A critical response to sleep quality and stress in isolated sleep paralysis.
J Clin Neurosci October 10, 2025 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2025.111690 (opens in new tab) via PubMed
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThis critical response reexamines the psychophysiological pathways proposed in earlier work on sleep quality and stress during isolated sleep paralysis. It argues that previous models may oversimplify the relationship by neglecting bidirectional influences and individual differences. The response calls for more nuanced frameworks that account for cognitive, emotional, and physiological interactions in sleep paralysis experiences.
