Would broader education on Sleep Paralysis lower the number of reported ghost sightings and alien abductions?

I suffer from incidents of Sleep Paralysis which scared the crap out of me as a young teen. When I educated myself on this condition I learned how to reduce the frequency of occurrences and no longer was frightened when the event occurs.

I have had a couple brief episodes of sleep paralysis when I was a teenager. I was abducted by aliens as well so I assume the incidents are related. There is no mistake about the abduction, my experience with the abusive aliens is extensive.

Respironics Actiwatch Spectrum Device, Diagnoses Sleep Disorders $2029 Features of the Respironics Actiwatch Spectrum Device: Activity level is recognized as a valuable indicator for medical problems and can provide answers to many research questions. Activity levels correlate with sleep/wake patterns, pain level, mood, energy expenditure, fatigue/alertness and other quantifiable parameters. An Actiwatch actigraph also provides an objective record for tracking and documenting normal and abnormal sleep/wake patterns. Two examples of the use of the Actiwatch are: Sleep/Wake Patterns and General Activity Level A digitally integrated recording of wrist activity is a reliable indicator of Sleep/Wake state. The Actiwatch is an actigraphy device that is the size of a standard wrist watch. It allows for the recording of the smallest movements for days, weeks, or even months. When worn on the wrist, an Actiwatch actigraph can generate an Activity record to be used as a tool to document: – Sleep/Wake Patterns – Sleep Disorders – Circadian Rhythms Disorders – Disturbances brought on by Shift WorkReal time impedance display – Basic Activity Levels – Compliance with Exercise Routines Actiwatch Spectrum – In addition to sleep/wake activity recording and the updated features included in the Actiwatch-2, Actiwatch Spectrum is equipped with three color light sensors that provide irradiance and luminous flux recordings in three color bands of the visible spectrum: red, green, and blue. Beyond color-light sensing, Actiwatch Spectrum also features a LCD display for time, date and device status indicators as well as off-wrist detection and a one year battery life. These features, among others are why Respironics’ Actiwatch products make it easier than ever to implement actigraphy. Products Specifications: Size: 48mm x 37mm x 14mm. Weight: 30 grams (with band).
