Drawing on 76 studies from 25 countries and over 167,000 participants, this 2024 systematic review finds that approximately 30% of the general population will experience at least one episode of sleep paralysis in their lifetime. Around a quarter of those episodes are accompanied by auditory or visual hallucinations.
The Open Research Archive is a public collection of external-source material — academic papers, books, historical documents, and reports — curated by the Paranormal Response Network. Items are not PRN-created original research. They are selected and summarised for reference, attribution, and further study.
PRN-created analysis, synthesis, case comparisons, and in-depth investigative research — separate from this free public archive.
