We spend one-third of our lives sleeping. Five sufferers of sleep paralysis and night terrors share their stories of fear, shame, and strength, as they battle an unseen -- yet very real -- disorder. We also delve into the science and mythology behind these oft co-morbidities and take a sneak peek at an unusual phenomena that makes us Humans Being.
