The relationship between snoring and age, body type, and gender.
There are a few other factors that make snoring easier.
When a child snores, a nasal disease often clogs his nose and makes him breathe, or has a large adenoid and narrows his throat. When you become an elderly, your tongue and throat muscles weaken, so if you sleep on your back, your tongue falls into your throat and your airway narrows.
Obesity is also a risk factor for snoring. Japanese people usually have small mouth and throat, so even if they get a little fat, they get fat on their throats and their airways get narrower.
There is an impression that snoring is for men, but there are many women who are concerned. In a survey of about 3,000 males and females conducted by SS Pharmaceutical, 41.5% of males and 15.1% of females snored. It seems that snoring women often have small jaws.
It’s a good situation to snore.
I usually don’t snore, but I snore only in special cases.
As physical or mental fatigue builds up, deep sleep increases in an attempt to recover from it. Because the tongue and throat muscles are most relaxed during deep sleep, the tongue sinks into the throat, narrows the airway, and makes it easier to snore.
Some people snore only when they drink. Alcohol stores water in your body so that your face gets swollen easily on a hangover day. I snore because my throat gets swollen and my airway narrows while I’m drunk.
Also, some people point out snoring only when they stay at a hotel for a trip or a business trip. The hotel room is low in humidity and makes it easier for your nose and throat to dry. When the nose is dry, it becomes difficult to breathe and it becomes mouth breathing with your mouth open. While you are closing your mouth, the tongue between the upper and lower jaws is prone to fall into your throat and snore.
Just snoring and scary snoring.
Aside from the inconvenience around you, snoring is called ‘simple snoring’ or ‘primary snoring’ so that you can sleep well and spend the next day without any problems. It is often easy to snore simply by changing the height of the pillow, the direction of sleep, or using simple goods on the market.
After snoring, I stopped breathing for a while. I started snoring again when I was looking at it with concern. Be careful when things like this happen again and again every night. There is a possibility of a disease called sleep apnea, so you should see a medical institution early.
Even when you don’t usually snore but suddenly start snoring, a big disease can be hidden. If you have a conscious disorder due to cerebrovascular disorder, your tongue may fall into your throat and snore. It is easy to know when you have a seizure when you are awake, but it is difficult to notice even if you have a stroke when you are asleep. When you notice your bed partner’s sudden snoring, try to wake your body up with pain stimulation by pinching it lightly.
