1, the disadvantages of sleeping with your mouth open
1, buckteeth or irregular tooth arrangement. Breathing with your mouth open for a long time while sleeping will lead to abnormal development of the child's maxilla and mandible, with buckteeth or uneven teeth. In severe cases, the teeth cannot be closed normally, which will make the child even more unable to close his mouth.
2. Increase the chances of being infected by viruses and bacteria. There is a lot of dust and bacteria in the air. As the saying goes, "illness comes from the mouth." Once you breathe through your mouth, these germs will increase your chances of getting sick.
3, causing oral diseases. The fluff on the nasal mucosa can moisten the air and block germs, while breathing through the mouth will dry the oral mucosa and easily cause diseases in the oral cavity.
4. Loss of appetite. The olfactory function of nasal cavity can increase appetite and help digestion. Long-term oral breathing will affect this function of nasal cavity, and then affect people's appetite.
5, affecting the quality of sleep. Once you breathe through your mouth at night, the breathing in the nasal cavity will stop, which will slowly affect the metabolic state of the whole body and make the body unable to get a good rest.
6. Prevent rhinitis and tonsillitis. Some people may unconsciously breathe through their mouths. At this time, we should pay attention to whether there is rhinitis or tonsillitis.
2. Taboos when sleeping
1, avoid sleeping with your head covered.
The weather is cold in winter, and the elderly are generally afraid of the cold, so some elderly people like to sleep with their heads covered. This is extremely harmful to the body, because it inhales a lot of carbon dioxide exhaled by itself and lacks the necessary oxygen supplement.
2. Avoid sleeping on your back
The posture of sleeping is also very important. Sleeping posture, lying to the right side is the best, so that the whole body bones and muscles are in a natural state of relaxation, easy to fall asleep, easy to eliminate fatigue. Lying on your back makes the whole body's bones and muscles still in a state of tension, which is not conducive to eliminating fatigue, and it is also easy to cause nightmares due to putting your hands on your chest, which affects the quality of sleep.
3. Avoid sleeping under the light.
It's especially bad to sleep with the light on. When people sleep, although their eyes are closed, they still feel bright. Sleeping in front of the light is easy to make people uneasy, it is difficult to fall asleep, and even if they fall asleep, they are easy to wake up.
4. Avoid sleeping in the wind
You must take shelter from the wind when you sleep at night. Keep the room ventilated, but don't let the wind blow directly on you. Because people's adaptability to the external environment is reduced after falling asleep, if they sleep in the wind for a long time, cold air will invade the body, causing diseases such as colds and chills.
About one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep, which shows how important sleep is to everyone. In a sense, the quality of sleep determines the quality of life, so we must pay attention to it.
3, the correct mouth breathing
1. First, find problems in time. To improve this situation, we must first face up to our own situation. I find that I often breathe with my mouth, or my mouth is often open and unconsciously protrudes outward. You have to pay close attention to this situation and pay attention to it.
2. Then, make a detailed improvement registration form. A good plan can make a thing develop well, and everyone is lazy. By making a plan, you can effectively carry out each step, keep the whole person step by step, and at the same time, you can monitor your own completion.
3. Then, implement. Shut up and breathe through your nose. The tip of the tongue is against the palate, and the air inside is forced out and has been resisting. Shut up and leave no gaps. Go on like this until you form good habits.
Secondly, not everyone can always keep his mouth shut. At this time, some auxiliary tools are needed. You can use an oral fixator or a ventilator to continuously improve your breathing habits.
Finally, improving oral breathing requires perseverance, which can't be completed in a day or two, so persistence is the most important. It takes at least two years for an adult to improve his breathing, but the cycle of a child will be shorter.
