How to break the habit of sleeping with your mouth open?

In fact, it is a normal physiological phenomenon that the eyes and mouth are slightly open. Because people are in a relaxed state when they are in deep sleep, the muscles around the eyelids and the muscles around the mouth are also in a relaxed state, so they should be half open, so you are normal.

About one third of life is spent in bed. Sleeping can not only effectively relieve physical fatigue, but also give the brain a proper rest. It can be said that the quality of sleep directly determines the quality of people's mental state, but some people's sleep habits are very bad. Some people find that they can't help but open their mouths when they sleep. How is this?

Sleeping with your mouth open is a bad habit. There are cilia in people's nasal cavity, which can adhere to and expel microorganisms and dust inhaled with the air during activities. There are also paranasal sinuses in the nasal cavity, which can warm the inhaled air. Breathing with your mouth open while sleeping can lead to dyspnea, dry mouth, pharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infection. Because of the cold and stuffy nose, the nasal cavity is not ventilated when sleeping, forcing children to breathe only through their mouths, and opening their mouths plays a role in assisting breathing. Usually children open their mouths to sleep and snore, which may be caused by adenoid hyperplasia. Can make the baby drink more water. You can also gently lick the water at the nostril with a cotton swab and gently take it out after the nasal scab becomes soft.

Most of them are caused by poor breathing of the nose, and some of them are habit problems. Analyze the specific reasons!

First, the reason for sleeping with your mouth open:

1, acute rhinitis or chronic nose;

2, a cold leads to nasal congestion;

3. Tonsillitis or tonsil hypertrophy;

Because of the above inflammation, nasal breathing is not smooth, so that nasal breathing can not meet the needs of oxygen supply during sleep, so people have to breathe through their mouths.

1, allergic rhinitis, nasal septum distortion and other diseases. When the weather turns cold or you have rhinitis, when you come into contact with allergic substances, your nose will be blocked and runny, leading to poor breathing. You have to open your mouth to get enough oxygen, so you will open your mouth to breathe when you sleep.

2, caused by obesity. Obesity causes more fat accumulation in the throat, narrows the airway, requires hard breathing with the mouth open, and may also lead to sleep apnea syndrome. In addition, tonsillar enlargement and adenoid hypertrophy can lead to open mouth breathing and snoring during sleep.
