As far as the physical actions involved into paralysis during sleep; we may consider the bodies natural way it can freeze the body during REM sleep. Exactly how the muscles are paralyzed has been a mystery, however. Early studies pegged a neurotransmitter called glycine as the culprit, but paralysis still occurred even when the receptors that read glycine's presence were blocked, disproving that notion. So University of Toronto researchers Patricia Brooks and John Peever cast a wider net. They focused on two different nerve receptors in the voluntary muscles, one called metabotropic GABAB and one called ionotropic GABAA/glycine. The latter receptor responds to both glycine and a different communication chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, while the first responds to GABA and not glycine. The researchers used drugs to "switch off" these receptors in rats and discovered that the only way to prevent sleep paralysis during REM was to shut both types off at the same time. What that means is that glycine alone isn't enough to paralyze the muscles. You need GABA, too. So essentially the body may cause too much of the enzymes. The side affect being that it causes the body to stay frozen even after the REM state has ended and the body is in the process of waking up. Just a suggestion. ☠️

Okay time to vent. The so called Wuhan Virus scare should be over. Mandates have been removed and people should be able to get back to what once was deemed normality. Yet I'm not allowed to do volunteer work at a nursery with other volunteers, because I'm not vaccinated. This is just complete BS. The vaccinated are more dangerous to the unvaccinated than the other way around. What becoming of the world? A bunch of namby pansy snowflakes? ☠️

From what I had read the story seems to go that his car stopped near a diner. His driver/security guard got out and went to the diner to get some coffee for the two of them. While waiting for the coffee a teamster started talking to him and mentioned how impressed he was with Jimmy Hoffa's leadership. The driver/security guard told him the man was sitting in a car and he could go over and talk to him. This is where things changed. The teamster walked towards the car with the security guard walking behind him holding the cups of coffee. The teamster than withdrew a handgun and shot Hoffa. Before the security guard could drop the coffee and draw his own handgun he was also shot. The vehicle was than loaded onto truck and driven over the boarder into another state. Where it is assumed it was buried in landfill. This is assuming a great deal. The first is that the shooter knew where Hoffa was going to be and was able to have a truck and collaborators on hand to execute the execution. It would be easier to assume that Hoffa was car jacked when he went to a destination that was frequented by him. Than driven out of state to a landfill. Or perhaps he will show up at the bottom of Lake Mead reservoir. ☠️
