Deku Baku is a Japanese term used to refer to a type of sleep paralysis experienced while lying on one’s back. It is characterized by the sensation of a heavy weight or pressure on the chest, accompanied by difficulty breathing and a feeling of terror.
The exact cause of deku baku is unknown, but it is thought to be related to changes in brain activity during sleep. It is most commonly experienced by children and young adults, and is often associated with stress or anxiety. While deku baku can be a frightening experience, it is generally harmless and will usually resolve on its own within a few minutes.
