Does snoring mean a good sleep? Wrong! It is a disease and needs to be treated!

Does snoring while sleeping mean that you are sleeping soundly?

In daily life, we often hear the phrase "I heard you snoring last night, you slept so soundly". It seems that many people think that snoring means that you sleep very deeply and have a very good sleep quality, but is it really so?

In fact, snoring has nothing to do with good sleep. Instead, it is a disease called sleep apnea syndrome . The characteristics of this disease are loud snoring, accompanied by short wheezing, and breathing pauses lasting more than 10 seconds, which occur alternately. In real life, there are many cases where breathing pauses last for dozens of seconds.

What are the effects of sleep apnea syndrome?

So what are the effects of this disease? When you stop breathing during sleep, it will lead to a decrease in oxygen in the blood. If you snore all night, you will inhale less oxygen than a normal person, and the brain will be affected by the lack of oxygen.

Therefore, people who snore for a long time may affect their memory. Some people may experience headaches and bad temper when they wake up in the morning. In the most serious cases, it may cause high blood pressure and cerebrovascular disease, and even lead to sudden death.

In addition, people who snore for a long time are prone to daytime lack of energy, fatigue, dullness, depression, anxiety, dry mouth, and decreased concentration and judgment. If you snore while sleeping and have apnea, feel very sleepy during the day, or have long breathing intervals after falling asleep, you should pay attention.

That’s all for today. See you next time.
