Sleep can nourish the heart
Many times, patients with coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction need a lifestyle prescription in addition to taking medicine on time, and a good sleep is a very important one. If my patient's sleep quality is not high, such as difficult to sleep, love to wake up early and always have nightmares, it is necessary to see the sleep clinic. Sometimes, after sleep is improved, the dosage can be reduced.
How long can I sleep
Generally speaking, the middle-aged and the elderly should ensure six or seven hours of sleep a day; Young people in their twenties and thirties sleep seven or eight hours a day. But some friends say they can sleep more than ten hours a day. Why can't they wake up and feel dizzy when they get up? These friends sleep too much.
Snoring can cause sleep hypoxia
A survey found that many friends snore during sleep, and many people suffer from cerebral artery insufficiency.
Snoring can cause sleep hypoxia. The damage to human body is multifaceted and multi organ, such as heart hypoxia, liver hypoxia, kidney hypoxia and brain hypoxia. Brain hypoxia can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and severe brain atrophy, brain softening, etc; Cardiac hypoxia can lead to angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Long term hypoxia can lead to daytime sleepiness and irresistible drowsiness. I once met some patients in the clinic and began to doze off after sitting down for a few minutes. In patients with cardiovascular disease, snoring will aggravate their condition. Snoring in patients with hypertension increased blood pressure significantly the next day; Long term snoring of coronary heart disease will aggravate heart and brain hypoxia and worsen the disease. In addition, the survey found that 53% of patients with brain accidents had snoring; The mortality of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage and snoring is three times higher than that of non snoring patients.

Snoring treatment: sleep time is divided into several periods
At present, there is no cure for snoring. Generally, doctors will recommend dividing the sleep time every night into several segments. For example, when you go to bed at 10 o'clock and sleep until about 12 o'clock, you can get up and drink a glass of water, go to the bathroom, and then sleep again; At three or four in the morning, get up and move for a while, and get up at six or seven in the morning. Most snorers have no difficulty falling asleep, so waking up several times a night will not lead to insomnia. Sleeping in different periods can not only ensure the total amount of sleep in a day, but also reduce snoring and reduce the lack of blood supply to the brain caused by snoring
Due to the lack of blood supply to the brain caused by various reasons, in addition to ensuring their basic sleep at night, they should appropriately limit their sleep time during the day and encourage them to go out and participate in some social activities, such as singing, dancing, playing chess, etc. Let the brain be active during the day, which is helpful to alleviate the lack of blood supply to the brain.
