Sleep paralysis is a common, yet poorly understood phenomenon that affects people throughout their lives. However, there is still relatively little research on its effects on young people. The aim of this study is to highlight the challenges faced by young people due to sleep paralysis and to provide a comprehensive analysis of the experiences, impacts and coping strategies associated with this phenomenon. We used a mixed methods approach to conduct surveys and interviews with a diverse sample of adolescents to investigate the prevalence and subjective experience of sleep paralysis. Our results show that sleep paralysis poses unique challenges for young people, including disrupted sleep patterns, psychological distress, and impairment in daily functioning. Furthermore, this study delves into the coping mechanisms adopted by the youth in responses to sleep paralysis. It covers a range of strategies from seeking social support to developing personalized techniques for managing episodes. These coping strategies not only provide insights into the resilience of the youth population but also offer avenues for potential intervention and support. Descriptive research design and simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. A sample size of 60 people was collected using planned interviews. In this study, (25%) of respondents had high levels of sleep paralysis and well-being, (58%) of respondents had moderate sleep paralysis and well-being, and (17%) of respondents had concluded that people have lower levels of sleep.
