She had no history of other sleep-related events. Reassurance, explanation of the physiological basis of her experience, and a short course of low-dose diazepam were provided. Her mood and sleep improved promptly and she no longer held paranoid beliefs. She did not experience further episodes of sleep paralysis or hypnic hallucinations and improvement was sustained at 6 months. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: It pays to probe for the core experiences or events that patients may be explaining by devising \u2018delusions\u2019. Acute, nocturnal-onset, first-time psychopathology warrants inquiry for sleep paralysis and hypnic hallucinations. Sleep-related side-effects of psychotropic medications need to be studied more closely. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,19]],"date-time":"2004-12-19T10:24:39Z","timestamp":1103451879000},"page":"77-80","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Relevance of Sleep Paralysis and Hypnic Hallucinations to Psychiatry"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Prakash","family":"Gangdev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Springfield University Hospital, Tooting, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.306.6892.1604"},{"key":"bibr2-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.169.4.459"},{"key":"bibr3-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pms.1993.77.3.803"},{"key":"bibr4-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","first-page":"245","volume":"67","author":"Hishikawa Y","year":"1995","journal-title":"Advances in Neurology"},{"key":"bibr5-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(93)92992-3"},{"key":"bibr6-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","first-page":"798","volume":"45","author":"Friedman S","year":"1994","journal-title":"Hospital and Community Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr7-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/15.3.217"},{"key":"bibr8-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.126.7.1027"},{"key":"bibr9-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.133.11.1321"},{"key":"bibr10-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","first-page":"169","volume-title":"Child and Adolescent Neurology for Psychiatrists","author":"Dahl RE","year":"1991"},{"key":"bibr11-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","first-page":"386","volume":"86","author":"Gangdev PS","year":"1996","journal-title":"South African Medical Journal"},{"key":"bibr12-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","first-page":"1617","volume":"86","author":"Gangdev PS","year":"1996","journal-title":"South African Medical Journal Supplement"},{"key":"bibr13-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","volume-title":"Concise Guide to Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders2nd edn","author":"Reite M","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr14-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","volume-title":"Sleep and its Disorders","author":"Parkes J","year":"1985"},{"key":"bibr15-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00207148108409169"},{"key":"bibr16-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","first-page":"501","volume":"76","author":"Bell C","year":"1984","journal-title":"Journal of the National Medical Association"},{"key":"bibr17-j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0033-3182(93)71913-1"}],"container-title":["Australasian Psychiatry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T16:45:20Z","timestamp":1741625120000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1046\/j.1039-8562.2003.02065.x","relation":{},"ISSN":["1039-8562","1440-1665"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1039-8562","type":"print"},{"value":"1440-1665","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]}}}
