Different from general cognition, snoring this universal sleep phenomenon is not only not beneficial to health, but also makes sleep breathing repeatedly suspended, resulting in lack of oxygen in the blood of the brain, daytime drowsiness, fatigue, headache and dizziness, and even induces various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The causes of snoring are diverse, and some diseases can cause snoring, such as recotraction of the jaw, nasal polyps, adenoidal hypertrophy, chronic rhinitis, etc.; snoring can also occur after drinking alcohol and taking sedative sleeping pills; fat accumulation in the neck of obese people can cause respiratory stenosis and are more likely to snore.

In addition, snoring is also related to heredity, age and sex, such as children whose parents snor seriously, children are also prone to snoring symptoms; male snorers are significantly higher than females; and snoring often occurs with age.

The reason why people who snore rarely wake themselves up is because on the one hand, snoring is an endogenous sound made by our body itself, and in our subconscious this sound is not threatening, and the brain will automatically reduce or even ignore this sound.

On the other hand, snoring usually occurs during deep sleep, when the brain's conscious nerve center is in a dormant state, and it is not easy to hear the snoring, of course, if your snoring is loud enough to stimulate the awakening of the central nervous system of the brain, the snoring person will also be woken up by himself.

Generally mild snoring can be improved by weight loss, change sleeping position, quit smoking and alcohol, if the snoring is very loud, and there is difficulty breathing, awakening, increased nocturia, daytime drowsiness, fatigue, headache and other symptoms, then timely medical treatment.
