While France is experiencing a wave of contamination of variant Omicron exponential, many symptoms appear. Although it is considered very contagious (with a shorter incubation period for the virus), studies nevertheless tend to show that the variant is less severe than the previous ones and that it appears to result in fewer hospitalizations. After night sweats, loss of appetite, ear pain, and intestinal disorders, this time one of the symptoms would have a considerable impact on our sleep.
Of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, we already know that, unlike its "predecessors", it would cause a loss of taste or smell less frequently, but it would have slightly more bothersome, even worrying symptoms . According to numerous testimonials from British patients carrying the variant Omicron , relayed by the news site Glasgow Live , indeed claimed to have developed a scary nocturnal symptom t. This would be sleep paralysis. This phenomenon occurs when falling asleep. It is characterized by inability to move , as indicated by his name. The person tries to wake up from sleep, but cannot. Body movements are impossible , just like speaking or shouting, while the mind is fully aware of the surroundings of the chamber.
As disturbing and frightening as sleep paralysis is, it is not permanent. It usually lasts a few seconds. In the vast majority of cases, this phenomenon only occurs once or twice in a lifetime at most. It occurs in times of great stress. Some researchers have thus affirmed that the multiplication of testimonies of people who have contracted Covid-19 and live with sleep paralysis was not insignificant. Indeed, if it is not a specific symptom of the disease, it is rather the reflection of the concern and weariness of the population after 2 years of pandemic.
