Medical Video: WHERE'S YOUR MOMMY?! | Among The Sleep
Not a few people have mangap sleep habits. Yes, sleep is a habit of mouth open during sleep and not realized at all. If you sleep in a public place or not at home, sleeping can be a shameful habit. Actually, what causes a person to have a mangap sleeping habit?
Various causes of mangap sleep
Someone who has mangap sleep habits can be caused by various things. But in most cases sleep is caused by the habit of breathing through the mouth during sleep. Here are some reasons why someone has mangap sleep habits:
- Allergy to something. When someone has an allergy, the person will experience respiratory problems. In normal circumstances, you do breathe through your nose, but when an allergy comes, the nasal passages to breathe will experience interference. To avoid lack of oxygen, the body will automatically open its mouth so that air enters the body.
- Have a finger sucking habit. The bad habit of sucking fingers is usually done by children, because it has become accustomed since he was little. Sucking fingers while sleeping will also have the opportunity to cause breathing problems during sleep.
- Has large tonsils. Tonsils or tonsils will be the source of problems if they are too large to block the respiratory tract. When a person has large tonsils or tonsils, the person will not get enough air if they breathe through the nose, so he unconsciously opens his mouth to get air.
- Nasal congestion. If you have a cold, the nasal passages will become blocked and make the incoming air not optimal according to your needs. To meet the air needs, the mouth will open and then breathe through the mouth.
Bad effects of mangap sleeping habits
Apparently, the habit of sleeping or breathing through the mouth during sleep can have a negative impact on health. What are the adverse effects?
1. Snoring while sleeping
Although snoring is a common thing and is considered natural, but snoring during sleep can disturb the people around you. When the mouth is open, the air will come in and out through the mouth through the tongue and palate. The incoming air makes the tongue and ceiling vibrate and the vibrations eventually cause a snoring sound.
2. Can trigger asthma
Mangap sleep habits can worsen asthma symptoms. This happens mainly because the air you breathe is not filtered by fine hairs - which should occur in the nostrils - causing the incoming air to still contain allergens and other impurities. This dirty air will go directly into the lungs then aggravate the asthma that is experienced.
3. Increases bad breath and dental caries
Dirty air that enters the mouth - not filtered by nose hair - makes bacteria easily grow in the mouth. This condition results in the mouth becoming full of bacteria and causing an unpleasant odor from the mouth. The bacteria that grows in the mouth also causes teeth to become porous and dental caries arises.
