No matter how loving a couple is, they cannot avoid this sign, which is the prelude to the breakdown of their relationship

In the middle of the night, while scrolling through my phone, I suddenly saw a message from my best friend: 'He actually said I snore like an electric drill!' The accompanying picture shows a pillow kicked to the bedside. Is this scene inexplicably familiar? How much intense affection ultimately gave way to the "stereo surround sound" in the blanket? You may think it's just a difference in sleep habits, but in fact, your body has already turned red.

1. Snoring is a distress signal emitted by the respiratory tract

1. Nighttime warning of muscle relaxation

When the muscles in the throat are excessively relaxed and airflow passes through, it will cause vibration. Just like a loose string that cannot produce a clear sound, this vibration is often accompanied by respiratory pauses, medically known as obstructive sleep apnea.

2. Butterfly effect caused by hypoxia

Each breath pause is equivalent to cutting off oxygen to the brain for more than 10 seconds, and long-term accumulation can lead to morning headaches and daytime sleepiness. What is more alarming is that the decrease of blood oxygen saturation will accelerate the damage of vascular endothelium and become the invisible driver of hypertension and diabetes.

II. Same The health hazards behind bed dreams

1. The chain reaction of sleep deprivation

The partner's snoring can reach 90 decibels, equivalent to the working volume of a vacuum cleaner. Long term shallow sleep can increase cortisol levels by 30%, which not only affects emotional control but also lowers immunity.

2. The vicious cycle of weight and snoring

For every 1 centimeter increase in neck fat, the risk of respiratory compression increases threefold. Lack of sleep can stimulate the secretion of ghrelin, and when many people find it difficult to lose weight, they may need to solve the problem of snoring first.

3. Practical plan to improve sleep quality

1. Golden angle of sleeping position

Raising the head of the bed by 15 degrees can effectively reduce the fall of the tongue, and when lying on the side, placing a pillow behind the back can assist in fixing the position. Avoid using pillows that are too high, as this can actually worsen the curvature of the respiratory tract.

2. Fine tuning strategy for bedroom environment

Maintain indoor humidity between 50% -60%, as dry air can stimulate mucosal swelling. Fasting for 3 hours before bedtime may cause stomach acid reflux and irritation to the throat due to digestive activities.

Next time you hear your partner complain about your snoring, don't rush to argue back. Those incessant sounds are actually health warnings issued by the body. Starting tonight, changing your sleeping position may save both your love and medical report at the same time.
