HEYA MATE,
HERE IS UR ANSWER.
Thanks for asking this question.
This happens to almost everyone. It is not pathological if you regain the grip strength within a few minutes.
The reasons why we lose strength are:
《¤》Sleep induces relaxation. Muscles all over the body lose tone.
《¤》The body produces chemicals, namely GABA and Glycine, that induce paralysis.
《¤》This can be thought of as a safety mechanism that prevents us from reacting physically to our dreams.
《¤》Dreams occur during the REM stage of the sleep cycle, a stage where the brain is active and energized.
《¤》The chemicals released prevent muscles from contracting and bringing about limb movements in response to a hyperactive brain.
When we wake up, the body requires a few minutes to reel back into a normal functioning state after which the muscle tone and strength normalize.
The study of how these chemicals affect the brain is thought to help in understanding disorders like narcolepsy, sleep paralysis, and other REM stage sleep disorders better.
I HOPE IT HELPS U.
