The reason why women snore

Women may snore because they are overworked at work

A type of snoring that occurs after working overtime, drinking, smoking, and staying up late.

Women's snoring may be caused by the nose

Deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, hypertrophic nasal conchae, congestion and hypertrophy of nasal mucosa, chronic rhinitis, etc.

Women's snoring may be caused by illness

Any factors that can cause stenosis of the trachea in the nose and throat will promote snoring, such as congenital abnormalities of the trachea, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, hypertrophic hematoma of the nasal mucosa, hyperplasia of tonsils and adenoids, hypoplastic or backward-protruding mandible, hypertrophy of uvula, drooping soft palate, hypertrophy of tongue, etc.

What are the effects of snoring?

1. Affecting other people’s sleep quality

People who snore do have a deeper and more restful sleep quality. It is very worrying for ordinary people to sleep in the same room with a snorer at night: when the non-snoring person lies down and has not fallen asleep yet, the roommate has already been snoring loudly and fallen asleep. This snoring will make the non-snoring person unable to sleep all night, and feel dizzy the next day, unable to work and study.

2. Snoring and symptoms

In the past, very few people paid attention to whether snoring was harmful to themselves. Since sleep quality became a scientific research topic, scientists have studied the sleep status of snorers. The study found that long-term snorers or people with severe snoring are often accompanied by sleep apnea syndrome, sleep apnea occurs during sleep, and blood CO2 decreases. In other words, the CO2 inhaled throughout the night is less than that of ordinary people, which will affect memory over time. Many people have measured that the memory function of snorers is indeed not as good as that of ordinary people, but snorers themselves are not aware of it. Therefore, many scientists now recommend that people who snore should undergo polysomnography to see if they have sleep apnea, and if so, they should receive necessary treatment.
