Sleep paralysis is most likely to occur if we fall asleep really fast and we skip the REM stage of sleep which is supposed to happen first. Our bodies lock up as we fall asleep, putting our muscles to rest and then Our brains releases a chemical called glycine and Gaba, that causes us to become paralyzed so that we do not act out anything in our dreams. If our bodies did not do that and someone was having a violent dream and they were fighting in their dream and there mind did not lock their body they would be swinging and yelling and doing almost everything they are doing in their dream.
