Is it true that … women are less than men? | Sleep

IIt seems that a type of sexual stereotype that was once informed at school at the end of the school, so it may be surprising that women – in general – are in general – less than men. Ryan Chin Taw Cheong, ear, nose, throat and sleep surgeon at London University University Hospitals, says that men are probably twice from snoring women. He says: “But this gap is narrowing in two specific points in the lives of women,” he says. “One after menopause, usually between 45 and 55. The second is pregnancy, especially in the third trimester.”

Snoring occurs when the air flow is partially banned through the upper airway, causing vibration in the back of the nose, soft palate, throat, tongue or paintings (“cover” over the wind tube). This happens because the airway muscles relax during our sleep and are dragged by gravity when we are in bed. Other factors can make us more vulnerable to snoring. Alcohol relaxes the muscles. Additional body weight puts pressure on the throat. Allergies, nasal benign tumors, deviant barrier or simply heavy cold can prevent the airway.

Chyung says female hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, looks like the muscles of the airway more toned. “For this reason, women tend to catch men when levels change during menopause and pregnancy.” Add weight during pregnancy compounds.

It is interesting, he says, when women are engaged, less likely to report them, “because they are more stigma.”

Chiong says that the change in snoring patterns should not be ignored, as it may be a symptom of a medical problem. “It can be an indication of breathing stop during sleep – a serious condition where breathing stops again and again during the night.”

Regardless of your gender, Cheong says that if the snoring is loud enough so that your partner’s sleep disrupts regularly, this deserves to go to the doctor.
