My son is suffering from sleep paralysis. What should I do?

[worriedDAD32]

For the past week, my son has been suffering from sleep paralysis. I don’t know if this is normal but having to deal with it for how many days is not normal anymore. My 15 year old kid kept on telling me that he’s having nightmares and bad dreams, which I don’t like. I read an article in a foreign site talking about the death of a girl who had a sleep paralysis. Please tell me what should I do. My son is at risk here. Hear me please.

You can read anything on the internet so treat that claim with a grain of salt. Up to 40% of people have sleep paralysis and it can be due to some other sleeping issue. You need to talk to a professional who can decide if it is something to analyze or harmless.  Everyone dreams every night but most are forgotten so that is not a problem.
