What should I do if my eyelids are swollen when I sleep?

Eyelid edema occurs when sleeping. Generally speaking, the common reasons are as follows: First, patients stay up late for a long time, sleep for a short time at night, and have insufficient rest, which will cause obvious eyelid swelling, accompanied by pigmentation around the eyes and dark circles. It is recommended that patients wet their eyes for 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times a day, and must work and rest regularly to avoid staying up late for a long time, overworking their eyes and fatigue. Second, patients with renal insufficiency drink plenty of water before going to bed at night. Because the patient's urination function is weakened, there is too much water deposition in the body, which is manifested as eyelid swelling. Patients can take hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone and other diuretics orally to promote the excretion of water in the body and relieve the symptoms of eyelid swelling.

Sleep is an indispensable physiological activity for human beings. Sleep accounts for nearly 1/3 of a person's life.

Its quality is closely related to human health, and it is a process of memory cell metabolism. Sleep quality determines the quality of life.

Choosing the right pillow is very important, which is closely related to our health.

The pillow is uncomfortable.

Stiff neck-insomnia

Too high a pillow will destroy the natural curvature of the cervical spine and make the muscles and ligaments behind the neck tense and stiff. If you get up in the morning and feel that your neck suddenly becomes stiff, it is not convenient to move. If you didn't do any substantive exercise the day before, you should consider whether the pillow is too high and you have a stiff neck.

Snoring-insomnia

If the pillow is too low, the jaw will naturally lift, the throat will be compressed, and the uvula in the mouth will naturally droop and block the respiratory tract. Especially when inhaling, the soft palate above the back of the mouth vibrates and snores with the air entering. So if you often hear people complain that you snore, try putting a thick towel under your head to increase the height of your pillow. Moreover, snoring will not only reduce your sleep quality, but also make people around you insomnia.

Eye edema

If the pillow is too soft, the head will sink in, the blood flow will be too concentrated, the pressure on the blood vessel wall will increase, and the stress on the facial muscles will increase, leading to eye edema and slight headache in the morning. If you often find puffiness in your eyes, you can consider changing a sturdy pillow.

saliva

An excellent pillow will compress the carotid artery, causing poor blood circulation, which will lead to brain hypoxia and local microcirculation disorder. The direct reaction of hypoxia is increased saliva secretion and long-term habitual mouth breathing. If you always find a big wet pillow towel, you should consider changing to a softer pillow.

Three principles of choosing pillows

1, the sleeping position determines the height of the pillow.

The scientific height of adult pillows is 7-9 cm, but this data is not absolute. Sleeping posture is the decisive factor affecting the height, hardness and softness of pillows. If you are used to sleeping on your back, the height of the pillow should be roughly equal to the height of your fist; If you like sleeping on your side, choose a pillow with shoulder thickness; If you are used to sleeping face down with your pillow on your chest, choose a light and soft pillow, because too big a pillow will oppress your heart and cause insufficient blood supply.

2. The skin type determines the material of the pillow.

If the skin is allergic, don't choose down pillows, because tiny fibers in down are easy to cause allergies. According to statistics, 15% people in the world are allergic to down. If it is dry skin, it is recommended to avoid using pillows filled with hollow fibers and artificial fibers. Because of its poor air permeability and lack of elasticity, it is easy to generate static electricity, especially in autumn. Fiber pillows will make the skin drier and drier.

3. Sleep quality affects the choice of pillow material.

If you are prone to insomnia, don't choose rice husk pillows or slow rebound pillows, because the elasticity of these materials is unstable, and a little movement will make a noise and affect sleep. It is recommended that people with poor sleep choose pillows made of high-heat compressed sponge. Because this kind of pillow is in line with the normal physiological curve of the whole human body for the first time, it can restore the normal physiological curve when sleeping regardless of supine, lateral lying, cervical vertebra and respiratory tract. At the same time, its supporting force and hardness are suitable because of the special sponge compressed by high temperature, which conforms to the ergonomic principle and is conducive to improving insomnia.

Maintenance of pillows

1, regularly clean the pillowcase, and often take the pillow to dry in the sun;

2, can't beat the pillow hard;

3. The scientific service life of a pillow is 2-4 years, so don't change the pillow too frequently, which will easily relax the neck nerves and aggravate the aging of the muscles behind the neck.
