Snoring can be harmful to the brain

Sleep snoring can seriously affect the functioning of the human brain, according to a recent study by scientists at the Department of Brain Science, University of New South Wales (Australia).

So far, many people still believe snoring is just a habit and does not affect brain function. However, according to scientists, snoring comes from changes in the biochemical mechanism of the brain associated with temporary apnea during sleep, with pathological manifestations similar to those experienced. a stroke or clinical death, so seriously affects brain activity.

Scientists conducted research on 13 men with chronic snoring symptoms during sleep, and concluded that even those who snore lightly brain function was still affected.

Professor Caroline Rae, who led the study, said the impairment of brain function stemmed from a lack of oxygen supply to the brain.

According to Professor Rae, babies with tonsils larger than normal and with nasopharyngitis experience the same symptoms as patients who snore, and this will certainly adversely affect their brains.

However, so far, there is no scientific basis to explain why the amount of oxygen to the brain is low, which changes the biochemical function of this important system.
