10

大主要原因

There

is

snoring

and

there

is

snoring.

If

you

are

towards

the

gentle

end

of

the

heavy

breathing

spectrum the chances are that you annoy people only infrequently.

这儿有鼾声，那儿也有鼾声！ 如果你能轻柔地完成呼吸，

没有沉重的呼吸声，那么你很少会

打 扰到别人。

If, however, you are a heavy snorer the likelihood is that the members of your family will become

so stressed and tired that they almost want to kill you.

然而，

如果你是一个重度鼾症患者，

你的家人很可能十分焦 虑不安、心力交瘁，乃至于几乎

想要杀了你！

Face it

–

life with a snorer in the house is just downright unpleasant. It is not unknown for heavy

snorers

to

be

heard

half

the

house

away,

their

heavy,

gasping

breathing

preventing

anyone

else

from getting a good night's sleep.

直面打鼾吧——与打 鼾的人生活在一起确实相当令人讨厌。

对于打鼾的人来说，

半个 房子里

都能听见他那沉重的喘气声，干扰了所有人的睡眠。

If you snore like this you are probably making life miserable for everyone around you. The more

they suffer from interrupted sleep the more likely they are to get annoyed with you. You are also

not immune from damage through snoring.

如果你也打鼾，

那你就可 能让周围的人都过着悲惨的生活。

他们所承受的睡眠中断的痛苦越

大，就越气恼。当然，你也不可避免地要面临打鼾的危害。

Although you may not wake yourself up through your snoring (although it is not unknown) your

sleep will be disturbed and you will not be getting enough rest to recuperate from the strains of the

day.

即使你不 会被自己吵醒（尽管你知道自己打鼾）

，你的睡眠质量也会受到干扰，得不到充分

的休息，也就难以平复白日的焦虑与紧张。

If

this

continues

for

a

long

time

you

will

be

less

healthy,

prone

to

viruses

and

colds

and

more

prone to the effects of work stress.

如果这种情况持续很长一段时间，你的健康就会受损，容易 感染病毒、

患上感冒，

也更有可

能受到 工作压力的影响。

If

you

or

your

loved

one

spend

the

night

gasping

and

groaning

away

to

the

detriment

of

your

family and each other you may be tempted to try any number of over the counter remedies. It is

quite common for the poor snorer to be subjected to all sorts of indignities

–

throat sprays, nasal

strips, silver rings on acupressure points.

如果你或者你的爱人一整个晚上都在打鼾和 呻吟，

对彼此和家人造成了伤害，

那么你也许愿

意尝试以下一些非处方药的治疗方法。对于可怜的打鼾者来说，遭受各种“折磨”

——咽喉

喷雾剂、鼻带和按压穴位的银戒指等都十分普遍。

Some of these remedies will work for some people but there is no one size fits all fix. Snoring

happens

when

air

is

prevented

or

blocked

from

getting

easily

into

the

lungs

and

the

excess

air

causes the soft palette to vibrate.

这些疗法对于一些人来说会有成效，

但并不能解决所有人的问题。

当进入肺部的空气受到阻

碍时，多 余的气体就会使软组织产生振动。

The only way to cure your snoring is to work out what is causing the impediment and then learn

how best to manage that problem.

唯一能治好打鼾的方法就是找出症结所在，然后对症下药。

With that in mind here are the top 10 reasons you might be snoring and what you can do to make it

better.

将这些建议铭记在心 后，

你就可以看看榜单上这十个导致打鼾的理由了，

当然你也可 以从中

学会如何更好地解决打鼾这个难题。

口腔呼吸

口腔呼吸

We

are

capable

of

breathing

through

both

our

nose

and

our

mouth.

Indeed

when

we

are

doing

strenuous work such as heavy exercise we will often use our mouth to breathe in order to bring

more oxygen into our lungs than we can through using our nose alone. This is fine.

我们可以通过 口腔和鼻子呼吸。

实际上当我们正在做高强度工作，

如剧烈运动 时，

我们就会

借助口腔而非单独使用鼻子进行呼吸，这样可以为 肺部带入更多的氧气。这一点无可厚非。

If, however, a person uses their mouth to breath as a matter of course it can lead to problems.

然而，如果一个人习惯用口腔呼吸，就会带来一些问题。

Children who breathe through their mouth are likely to get crooked teeth and a receding chin.

用口腔进行呼吸的孩子可能会牙齿歪斜、下巴后缩。与 用口腔呼吸的成年人一样，

They are also likely to suffer from a host of health problems which they share with adult mouth

breathers.

These

include

getting

bad

headaches,

sore

throats,

digestive

problems

and

sleep

disturbances.

他们也有可能患上许多健康问题 ：头疼、喉咙疼、消化问题和睡眠紊乱。

Nasal breathing is vitally important to good, snoreless sleep. When you take air in through your

nose it will add nitric oxide to the air that passes into your lungs. This actually helps the lungs to

absorb more oxygen.

鼻腔呼吸对于拥有一个高质量的安静睡眠至关重要。

当你用鼻子 呼吸时，

会为进入肺部的空

气增加一氧化氮，这有利于肺部吸收 氧气。

If

your

nose

gets

congested

and

stuffed

up

easily

you

are

going

to

compensate

by

breathing

through your mouth which can aggravate snoring.

如果出现鼻塞的问题， 你就会借助口腔呼吸，这可能会加剧打鼾的情况。

It might be tempting to think that there is nothing to be done to change your breathing habits. It is

certainly not an easy thing to do but it is possible.

你可能觉得无法改变自己的呼吸习惯。这确实不是一 件容易的事情，但也并非不可能。

If you are a mouth breather you will need to retrain your facial muscles to learn to breathe through

your nose.

如果你已经习惯了口腔呼吸，那么你需 要反复训练面部肌肉，使之学会通过鼻子进行呼吸。

This takes time but can be done and your doctor will be able to help you locate a suitable therapist

to assist you. There are also devices available which help to position the mouth to prevent excess

mouth breathing.

只需要花费一定的时间来练习，

就能实现这个目标。

你 的医生可以帮你找一位合适的治疗专

家来帮助你。他们也会提供相关的设备来帮助你固定 嘴巴，阻止额外的口腔呼吸。

facial structures are the wrong shape

面部结构畸形

面部结构畸形

Because

snoring

is

caused

by

vibration

in

the

soft

tissues

of

your

mouth

deformities

in

these

structures can make you more prone to snoring.

口腔内的软组织振动导致打鼾，所以如果那些部位畸形，自然就会提高打鼾的可能性。

'Risk' indicators include a long soft palate (more tissue equals more vibration), an excess of tissue

in the throat and a long uvula (the bit that hangs down between your tonsils.

“风险”的标志包括过长的软上颚（软组织越多振动就越多）

、喉咙里多余的组织和过长的

小舌（悬挂在扁桃体之间的部分）

。

Because

of

the

importance

of

nasal

breathing

to

health

and

wellbeing

nasal

problems

can

also

cause snoring. The nasal septum is the piece of cartilage that divides the right nostril from the left.

正因为鼻腔呼吸对健康及舒适有着重要的影响，

鼻子的相关问题也能导致打鼾。

鼻子中的隔

膜 是一片软骨，将左右鼻腔分隔开。

If this is crooked, either as a result of genetic inheritance or because you have suffered a trauma to

the face, it can lead to problems with breathing and therefore cause snoring.

如果鼻子中间的薄膜弯曲——这可能是因为遗传，

或者是你的面部曾受过创伤——就会造 成

呼吸困难，自然也就导致打鼾。

If this is the case it can be treated with a corrective operation that will straighten the septum and,

usually, stop the snoring.

如果是由此原因造成打鼾，经过正确的治疗，将隔膜矫正，鼾声通常 就会终止。

Humans are creatures of habit

–

there is no getting away from it, we like to do things in the same

way day after day, it makes us feel comfortable and secure.

人类是 以习惯生存的生物——无法摆脱习惯，

我们习惯于日复一日地做着同样的事，
