总是觉得打呼是一件十分尴尬的事情,想要告别尴尬吗?万能的风铃(呵呵)为你找到了新的实用方法,赶快去试试吧。
If you constantly feel exhausted, experience headaches for no obvious reason or have high blood pressure, it could be the result of snoring.
如果你总是感到很疲惫,会莫名的头疼,亦或血压很高,这都有可能是因为你睡觉打呼。
More than a simple annoyance, snoring is also the most common symptom of a potentially serious health problem—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
打呼不仅仅听上去恼人,它还是阻塞性睡眠窒息症的最常见征兆,这是一种潜在的危险疾病。
Over 18 million Americans snore, and it’s related to OSA. People who suffer from OSA repeatedly and unknowingly stop breathing during the night due to a complete or partial obstruction of their airway. It occurs when the jaw, throat, and tongue muscles relax, blocking the airway used to breathe. The resulting lack of oxygen can last for a minute or longer, and occur hundreds of times each night.
超过1800万的美国人睡觉时会打鼾,这与阻塞性睡眠窒息症有关。患该病的人在夜晚睡觉时,会因为气道阻塞而经常毫无意识地停止呼吸。这是因为下巴、喉咙、舌头等部位的肌肉放松下来后,用来呼吸的气道会被阻塞,导致氧气供给不足,这可能持续一分钟或者更久,并且每晚会发生几百次。
OSA has been linked to:
阻塞性睡眠窒息症会引起:
Acid reflux 胃酸倒流
Frequent nighttime urination 夜间排尿频繁
Memory loss 记忆丧失
Stroke 中风
Depression 萎靡不振
Diabetes 糖尿病
Heart attack 心脏病
Consistent lack of sleep 长期失眠
People over 35 are at higher risk. OSA can be expensive to diagnose and treat — up to $5,000 — and those treatments can sometimes be quite painful.
35岁以上的人是高危人群。阻塞性睡眠窒息症的诊断治疗费用昂贵,高达5000美元,而且治疗过程有时非常痛苦。
However, a recent study published by Eastern Virginia Medical School's Division of Sleep Medicine concluded that wearing a simple chinstrap while sleeping can be an effective treatment for OSA.
不过,根据最近一项由东弗吉尼亚医学院睡眠医学科公布的研究,睡觉时戴上下巴托带,可有效治疗阻塞性睡眠窒息症。
The chin strap works by supporting the lower jaw and tongue, preventing obstruction of the airway. It’s made from a high-tech, lightweight, and super-comfortable material. Thousands of people have used the chinstrap and reported better sleeping, and better health overall because of it.
这种托带可以支撑下巴和舌头,避免下坠,防止气道阻塞。它由一种轻型、舒适的高科技材料制成。很多使用过这种下巴托带后的人们表示,睡眠和健康情况均有所改善。
If you want to stop snoring once and for all, without expensive CPAPs or other intrusive devices, this may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
如果你想从此摆脱打鼾的困扰,但又不想购置昂贵的CPAP呼吸机或者其他治疗设备,那么下巴托带也许就是你的不二之选。
