Good sleep is very important for maintaining a person’s well-being, his active life. Snoring during sleep is not the norm, but a pathology, which in some cases can become a trigger for the development of serious diseases.
Causes of snoring in men
The appearance in a dream in men of characteristic sounds, called snoring, is due to a weakening of the tone of the muscles of the soft palate and tongue. The veil of the palate for various reasons begins to vibrate, preventing the normal flow of air. Because of this vibration, bizarre sound modulations occur, creating the sounds of snoring.
Snoring reasons:
Anatomical features of the male body, the consequences of ENT diseases – an increase in adenoids, narrow airways;
Drinking alcohol – even the minimum dose of alcohol, drunk before bedtime, helps to relax the muscles, while narrowing the lumen of the nasopharynx;
A certain posture in a dream – usually men snore in the supine position, when the relaxation of the muscles of the larynx leads to a narrowing of the lumen of the nasopharynx;
Excess weight – an excessive increase in the volume of adipose tissue leads to a narrowing of the airways, and then to the appearance of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the risk of developing severe pathologies;
Smoking – due to irritation of the tissues of the nasopharynx by nicotine, chronic tissue edema and narrowing of the airway lumen occur;
Chronic fatigue, lack of sleep;
Taking barbiturates, which cause muscle relaxation and disruption of normal breathing;
Age-related changes – weakening of muscle tone and sagging of the palatine curtain causes a narrowing of the airway lumen.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is accompanied by oxygen deficiency throughout the night’s sleep, leading to fatigue that does not go away during the day, to increased irritability. With apnea, the airways completely overlap during snoring, the brain does not receive oxygen for 15-60 seconds, which leads to an increase in the load on the cardiovascular system, to the development of asphyxia.
