Snoring makes you sleep better! Such rumors should be dispelled

I don’t know if you have ever had this experience: being woken up in the middle of the night by the thunderous snoring of someone next to you, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep; or you wake up with a dry and sore throat, and always feel like you didn’t get enough sleep, and the “culprit” of all this may be snoring.

Snoring makes you sleep better! This is actually a "rumor". On World Sleep Day, let's talk about the health risks behind snoring and how to achieve the transformation from "noisy" to "quiet"!

1 Snoring is also a health killer. Snoring is not a trivial matter. There is a lot of knowledge behind it. From a physiological point of view, when you fall asleep, the muscles in the throat will relax, the root of the tongue will fall back, and the airway will narrow. If the soft tissue in the throat is relatively loose, or there is a blockage problem in the nasal cavity, such as a deviated nasal septum or hypertrophic nasal concha, the airflow through the narrow airway during breathing will cause the soft tissue to vibrate, thus producing snoring. In obese people, fat accumulation in the neck will also squeeze the airway, increasing the chance of snoring.

Moreover, snoring is not just a matter of disturbing the rest of the people around you. It may be a dangerous sign of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea, in simple terms, means that breathing stops briefly during sleep and oxygen is insufficient. If you ignore it for a long time, your body will suffer from repeated hypoxia, which will bring a series of risks. During the day, you will feel tired and lack energy, and it will be difficult to concentrate, which will greatly reduce your work efficiency. What's more serious is that it will also increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, which will pose a great threat to your health.

2 How to solve the problem of snoring? Snoring caused by diseases can be reduced by treating the primary disease; changing sleeping posture, losing weight, etc. may also achieve auxiliary improvement effects. In addition, you can also use a home non-invasive ventilator, which is a safe and effective treatment method that can help patients improve airway obstruction, restore quality sleep, and stay away from health risks.

The reason why non-invasive ventilators are called "non-invasive" is that they do not require intubation and will not cause trauma. It has two main modes: CPAP mode (continuous positive airway pressure), which is like continuously inflating a balloon, can keep the airway open and is suitable for people with snoring and sleep apnea; BiPAP mode (bi-level positive airway pressure), which provides high pressure during inhalation to help air intake and low pressure during exhalation to reduce resistance, is more suitable for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary insufficiency. However, it should be noted that the specific mode to be selected must be determined by the doctor based on the condition.

The working principle of a non-invasive ventilator is not complicated. When you sleep, it will apply a certain amount of pressure to the airway, just like holding up a "small umbrella" for the airway to prevent the airway from collapsing, so that breathing will not be paused. At the same time, it can also adjust the breathing rhythm to make your breathing easier. Moreover, it is equipped with intelligent technology that can learn your breathing pattern. Over time, it will become more and more in line with your needs, just like a caring bodyguard, always guarding your breathing.

There are several key points to note when using a home non-invasive ventilator. When using it, pay more attention to the operation of the ventilator. Once you find any abnormalities, such as abnormal sounds or unstable pressure, you must deal with them in time to avoid affecting the treatment effect. Cleaning and maintenance are also very important. Clean the mask and pipeline of the ventilator regularly, just like maintaining your car, so as to ensure that it is always in good working condition and can serve you stably for a long time.

In short, snoring seriously affects sleep quality and physical health. I hope everyone can pay attention to the problem of snoring. Please consult a doctor for professional advice and treatment plans, say goodbye to the sleep troubles caused by snoring, and enjoy a quiet and comfortable night.
