Sophie Ellis-Bextor on sleep paralysis struggle

During an interview with the Metro in 2022, Sophie opened up about her struggle with sleep paralysis, and the “scariest” part about the condition.

Sleep paralysis is a condition where you briefly lose muscle control, which happens just after falling asleep, or just as you’re about to wake up. People also suffer hallucinations during this brief period of paralysis, which invokes fear in many.

During the interview, Sophie confessed that she had been left frightened by her experience with sleep paralysis.
