Introduction: many people in life suffer from sleeping and snoring for a long time, which will not only confuse themselves but also affect others. So, what should I do when I snore in bed? Let TCM help you!
If you like snoring when you sleep, check whether your pillow is qualified. Because, excluding the possibility of disease, the stiff pillow may also be the culprit of snoring in sleep.
Experts analyze that snoring is the vibration sound caused by the obstruction of the whole airway when the airflow passes through the airway. Although snoring is common, if the symptoms are serious, it may cause serious consequences such as apnea and even sudden death. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the articles and sleeping posture when sleeping, and hard pillows are not suitable for this kind of people.
Experts believe that the pillow is too hard and lacks elasticity, which does not conform to the physiological curve of the human neck. If the neck is hard supported for a long time, it will lead to poor breathing and aggravate the degree of snoring. Snorers should choose a pillow that is neither soft nor hard. A pillow that is too soft has too strong elasticity, which will lose the support of the neck and lead to poor breathing. In addition, the pillow should not be too high. In general, it should be 10-12cm, which is almost one and a half height of the fist. Such a pillow can straighten the airway, make the airway unobstructed, and at the same time, the neck is not easy to be tired, which will alleviate the symptoms of snoring to a certain extent.
Experts also remind that snorers should sleep on their side to relieve the pressure of the neck on the airway, and the breathing disorder will be reduced accordingly, so as to alleviate the symptoms of snoring. In addition, the bed should not be too hard or too soft. If the body is too hard, it is easy to fatigue, and if the body is too soft, it will sag, which will affect the smooth progress of breathing. It is best to choose a bed with moderate hardness and elasticity, which is not only conducive to maintaining good sleep but also conducive to alleviating the symptoms of snoring.
If snorers have the habit of smoking, they must give up smoking immediately. Because only by keeping the nasopharynx unobstructed can snoring be reduced, and the irritation of smoking to the nasal mucosa will only make the blocked nasal cavity and respiratory tract worse.
