SNORING!  What happens?

Snoring appears during the phase of deep sleep, when a human completely relaxes and rests. That’s why it confirms the ability of nervous system to actively eliminate fatigue. Strong, deep sleep is always associated with snoring.  The person who snores, may not always know, that while he sleeps, he is making the horrific sounds. The first to suffer from snoring, are usually the surrounding people, who tend to suffer from insomnia, and they are usually the ones who push the snoring person towards treatment. Although, with very severe snoring, sleep can be interrupted, the snoring person starts to wake up from his own bubbly and vibrating sounds, whistles produced by the throat. An added chance of respiratory arrest during sleep is also possible.  Snoring people tend to suffer from day sleeping. This is because snoring causes often micro-awakes of the cerebrum, meaning that sleep is interrupted. Hence organism and brain are not resting at night. And by trying to catch up, the brain is trying to sleep during the day, as to at least somehow compensate the night sleep. Snoring must be treated, especially, when the first syndromes of respiratory arrest during the sleep start to appear. Obstructive respiratory arrest syndrome – is an illness, characterized by presence of snoring, periodic contractions of upper breathing airways around throat area and stoppage of lung ventilation, lowering of oxygen levels in blood, coarse disruptions of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness.  People suffering from respiratory arrest may have breathing stoppages at least 30 times a night. In some cases – up to 600 times a night! Duration of breathing stoppage is not long, around 40 seconds. It is still a major blow to the organism.   
Respiratory arrest leads to lack of oxygen, highly increases the chances of hypertension development, disruptions of heart beating, myocardial infarction, stroke, and even sudden death during sleep.  Sleep in people who suffer from the illness is choppy and shallow, they suffer from sweating and more frequent night urination, in the morning they suffer from headaches, daytime sleepiness and irritability.  In addition, they suffer from impotency, memory and attention loss. This is not the end of problems the respiratory arrest can cause. Organism stops producing the hormone responsible for exchange of fats. As a result, the fats do not turn into energy and the person becomes gluttonous and starts to gain extra weight. These are deposited in most inappropriate places – for example: the neck area. Fat deposits narrow the airways, which in turn causes snoring on its own, provoking further development of illness. In conclusion, I must mention, that if a human is alive, he is breathing and the air is constantly passing through the upper airways through channels with soft, movable, vibrating walls, hence prerequisites for things such as snoring during sleep are always in place
