00:00The CCTV caught a man while he was snoring.
00:15The suspected cause of his snoring
00:20was not eating a lot before he fell asleep.
00:24Before he fell asleep, he got full.
00:31I was scared.
00:33I didn't know if he might lose his father.
00:40I thought that he might die.
00:43Usually, men are the ones who are affected by snoring.
00:48It is said that there are people who die because of snoring.
00:53How was the condition of the man in the video?
01:01It was not easy.
01:05I can't sleep.
01:07I couldn't sleep.
01:09I couldn't sleep.
01:11It's devastating.
01:15I just couldn't sleep.
01:17I couldn't sleep.
01:19I was carried away.
01:22I couldn't get up.
01:24I couldn't get up.
01:26I couldn't get up.
01:27When he fell asleep, he was full.
01:34I was scared. I didn't know what would happen next.
01:38We would lose our father.
01:43I was thinking that he might die.
01:46Usually, adults are the ones who are affected by depression.
01:51It is even said that some people die because of depression.
01:56How did the man in the video react?
02:08Before we find out what happened to the man who was depressed,
02:11did you know that depression is already a part of our Filipino culture?
02:15According to the ancient Filipinos,
02:19the bangungot, which is a Tagalog term,
02:22and it is also called batibat by the Ilocanos,
02:26is a mythical being that crawls on people while they are asleep.
02:33It is a woman who is very fat and has a very muscular body.
02:40According to this folklore,
02:41it is possible to avoid depression.
02:44First of all, in order to avoid depression,
02:47you should not sleep on the side of an old tree.
02:54That is where the batibat lives.
02:57Second, when you are depressed,
03:01in order to wake up,
03:03you need to bite your stomach to wake up
03:07or you need to move your toes.
03:11And because of this, you will wake up.
03:14But the man who was screaming and making a bangungot in the video,
03:22did he wake up?
03:38I am Jeffrey Nieves.
03:39I was the one who was screamed in the video.
03:43Four minutes before midnight,
03:46when Jeffrey was making a bangungot,
03:52I had a dream that we were in a swimming pool
04:00but we didn't know a man.
04:03We didn't know a man who was swimming around.
04:07He suddenly hit me.
04:10I couldn't breathe.
04:12So I just screamed.
04:15When I woke up,
04:17I looked at the TV records.
04:20I was about to throw up.
04:22I didn't scream like that.
04:24In their room, there are people who feel that he is really special.
04:30Sometimes, in our door,
04:33it feels like someone is standing there.
04:35In our door.
04:37It feels like someone is standing there.
04:46Is it possible that he was the one who showed up in Jeffrey's dream?
04:52Or maybe he was just full because of the bangungot?
04:57I think I ate three or four rice.
05:00I was totally full.
05:03I couldn't give up because I was so full.
05:07We don't know the reason.
05:09Is it because of the food?
05:11Is it because of the fatigue?
05:13Fact or myth?
05:15Is eating heavy meals before going to bed
05:17can be a sign of bangungot?
05:19The answer of an expert.
05:21Wait for it.
05:24In the medical field,
05:26there is a thing called sleep paralysis.
05:28It is said that it happens while you are sleeping
05:31or when you are about to wake up.
05:33So it is between sleeping and waking up
05:35or vice versa.
05:37Take note,
05:39sleep paralysis is different from bangungot.
05:41This is a temporary condition
05:43that also happens while a person is sleeping.
05:46But the mind is awake,
05:48the mind is alert,
05:50but it cannot move.
05:52Usually, this is also associated with hallucinations
05:55that cause panic or anxiety in a person who is sleeping.
05:59According to the expert,
06:01there is no recorded case of death due to sleep paralysis.
06:04Sleep paralysis does not lead to death.
06:07Sleep paralysis usually happens to people
06:11who are going through stress, anxiety,
06:14traumatic experiences,
06:16to people who drink alcohol often
06:18and drink alcohol for a long time,
06:20and those who have sleep disorders
06:24like narcolepsy.
06:28Here in the Philippines,
06:30there are reports of people who died
06:31because of sleep paralysis.
06:41The counterpart of sleep paralysis in the middle field
06:45is called Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome
06:48or SUDS.
06:50When you say SUDS or bangungot,
06:52this is sudden death while a person is sleeping.
06:55In newer studies,
06:57it has been proven that
06:58the connection is in the irregular heartbeat.
07:02That is what is being discussed now
07:04that SUDS or bangungot can cause sleep paralysis.
07:07So far, the SUDS related to sleep paralysis
07:11is called Brugada Syndrome.
07:14This is a type of abnormal heartbeat
07:17that is actually a genetic defect.
07:20It's a genetic mutation.
07:22It means that it is malignant.
07:24It is only known when a patient or a person has symptoms
07:26and is investigated through work-ups like ECG
07:31or a doctor's examination.
07:34Now, let's go back to Jeffrey
07:36and his bad dreams.
07:43Most of the time,
07:45dreams have a connection
07:47to the current experience of an individual
07:50in his life.
07:52Somehow, it is a reflection
07:54of what a person is experiencing.
07:56Based on his experiences,
07:58that is where the dream comes from.
08:01It is possible that the couple talked about
08:04the demon that is standing at their door.
08:09And maybe,
08:11it reached Jeffrey's subconscious.
08:16But what they believed most in the SUDS or bangungot,
08:19Jeffrey,
08:23is a strong desire to sleep.
08:27Fact or myth?
08:29Is eating heavy meals before going to bed
08:31a sign of bangungot?
08:33It's a myth.
08:35According to studies,
08:37there is no strong evidence
08:39that if you eat heavy or a lot of food every night,
08:42it can cause bangungot.
08:45The awakening truth is
08:47it's not easy to get a good night's sleep.
08:50Most of the time,
08:52it requires hard work.
08:54But you still have to work hard
08:56to get a good night's sleep
08:58and rest
09:00for all goods.
09:03Aha!
