Is snoring related to pillows?

Experts from Harbin Armed Police Hospital said: Most people who snore know that it is not good to sleep with soft pillows. When they lie down, their heads tend to lean back, and the natural bending of their necks and heads occurs, which makes the muscles of their throats excessively tense, thus aggravating the degree of snoring treatment. So many people who snore aim at the hard pillow, which is the first choice for many people. These pillows do have a certain health care function, but people who snore should think more about it when choosing. Because the excellent pillow has poor elasticity, it is not easy to deform under the pillow. Pillows can nest the neck, change the angle of the respiratory tract, make breathing difficult and aggravate the degree of snoring. Snoring: Because the airway of snorers is usually narrower than that of normal people, the compensatory contraction of laryngeal muscles keeps the airway open and will not be blocked when awake during the day. However, when sleeping at night, the nerve excitability decreases, the muscles relax, the pharyngeal tissue is blocked, and the upper airway collapses. When the airflow passes through the narrow part, it produces eddy current, causing vibration and snoring. In severe cases, you can temporarily stop breathing, thus affecting people's health. So for people who snore, it is very principled and important to choose a suitable pillow. First of all, choose a pillow with moderate hardness and ergonomic shape. Taking Jin Kang Shule as an example, on the one hand, it fits the curve of the head and neck, changes the skeletal structure of the upper airway muscles of the head and neck, keeps the upper airway in a normal physiological position, and keeps the pharynx and upper airway unobstructed. On the other hand, it can improve the abnormal control function of the respiratory center, maintain the normal excitability of the nervous system of the respiratory center, effectively maintain the unobstructed airflow during sleep at night, and minimize sleep apnea. Secondly, when people who like to lie on their backs choose pillows, their fists should be clenched upwards, and the height of the pillow is equal to the height of a vertical fist. When sleeping on one side, the flabby muscles lean to one side, and it is not easy to block the respiratory tract. Therefore, patients with severe snoring are advised to sleep on their side. At the same time, it should be noted that people who snore should not choose pillows with excessive elasticity, so that their heads are constantly subject to external elasticity, which is easy to cause muscle fatigue and injury, and will also aggravate the degree of snoring. Therefore, considering comprehensively, it is very particular for snorers to choose pillows, which needs to be paid attention to and carefully screened.
