Expanding the research framework of isolated sleep paralysis: The need to consider environmental and behavioral variables.

Isolated sleep paralysis research should expand beyond its current focus on individual psychological and physiological factors to include environmental and behavioral variables. The authors argue that contextual factors such as sleeping position, sleep environment, and daily behaviors may influence the experience of sleep paralysis, yet these variables remain underexamined. Incorporating these elements could lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and inform prevention or management strategies.
