Why there is person who snoor during up sleep?

Hi!! I can MORE than adequately answer your question.\nI have been a Registered Respiratory Therapist for 13 years. There are several reasons why people snore. \n\nOne of these reasons is because you may have what is known as a deviated nasal septum, which can sometimes be severe enough to require nose surgery to correct this problem. You can test yourself for this at home.\n\nPlug ONE of your nostrils, and try to breath in and out through the open nostril. Do this with BOTH nostrils. This will rule out a deviated nasal septum. \n\nYou may very likely have what is known as SLEEP APNEA!! I've worked with many patients who Literally STOP BREATHING for a certain amount of time, (usually just seconds,) intermitantly during sleep!! You may stop breathing for a few seconds, then silence, then suddenly your body will react buy a GASPING for air kind of noise. This is not just snoring, this is a REAL PROBLEM, depending on how LONG you stop breathing.\n\nThis APNEA can be caused by an Obstruction withing the nasal area, such as a deviated nasal septum. It can also be caused by obesity, or it can be inherited. \n\nYou need to go see either a LUNG Doctor, (Pulmonologist,) or and Ear Nose and Throat Specialist, and get x-rays to determine if you have an anatomical problem blocking your airway during sleep. You may also notice that you will wake up with HEADACHES alot in the morning, even Migraines!! Thise is caused by a Lack of Oxygen to the brain, caused by just a FEW SECONDS of NOT BREATHING!! \n\nGet it checked out, but be careful NOT to hurry into Surgery, alot of times nasal surgeries will help the problem for a WHILE, but it is usually not permanent.\n\nIF you are diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, your Doctor may want you to wear a type of "mask", nasal inserts, (not permanent,) or a device that actually goes into your mouth to keep your tongue from rolling back and blocking your airway better. NO..........PEOPLE CANNOT SWALLOW THIER TONGUES!!! But the tongue can roll back and block your airway.\n\nAnother option I just learned about last year is that you can go to a VERY GOOD orthodontist who specializes in making a MOLD to fit inside your mouth at night, it is designed to lift your jaw up and out a bit, (it isn't uncomfortable,) and this position ALONE will ultimately keep your airway open, without having having to deal with a CPAP machine. CPAP machines are used with the items I mentioned above, and is either a constant flow of Positive Airway pressure to keep your airway open AND helps to expand smaller airways deeper inside the lungs and keep them OPEN the whole time you are sleeping!! \n\nMake sure to get this checked out asap, because every second you do not breath at night, you wouldn't believe how many brain cells are killed because of not getting enough oxgyen. \n\nYOu can also try sleeping on your side, either side, this helps to keep the tongue out of the way as well.\n\nCall you family Doctor and discuss how you feel. If you do not have a significant other that sleeps next to you, you can tape yourself while you sleep to see if you DO stop breathing. \n\nBut don't wait...............go see your family doctor NOW anyway. Snoring is not normal, and usually needs to be treated in some way. Okay???\n\nPromise you will make an appointment to see your doctor!!!!!\nIf you are a smoker, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!! \n\nI hope this helps you out!! \n\nTake care, and God Bless.\n\nStefanie

It's hard to believe that he slept with his eyes open. U have to blink and close ur eyes to keep them moist, otherwise they would dry out. I'm pretty sure there are VERY few people in the world that do that. In fact, I bet its near-to-impossible.

Lots of people can sleep with their eyes open.  It's not a medical problem or anything.

Because of their unconcious hang-ups and frustrations that they couldn't solve when they are awake. When one person talks in their sleep, it means that they have unsolve issues or they had been through a lot.

Oh wow, I get that all the time. Usually it is because you haven't had enough sleep, or because you are too tired. We do this out of protection, but it can be a very scary thing.

Probably it's because you aren't getting enough sleep, although your not wasting the day away. It may also be a reaction to make up or something in the air allegeries.

Are you talking about just being able to fall asleep quickly or are you talking about narcolepsy?\n\nIf it's the first, I think that some people are really just able to relax quicker and fall asleep faster than others.\n\nIf it's the second, it's a medical condition that cannot be controlled.  Here is a link with all the info:\n\nhttp://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/narcolepsy/narcolepsy.htm

It may be lack of sleep.\n\nIf it were me, I wouldn't be asking Yahoo!ANSWERS. I'd be asking a doctor.

Sleep Apnea\n\n\n\nDescription\nAn in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sleep apnea.\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction\nSleep apnea is a disorder in which a person stops breathing during the night, perhaps hundreds of times, usually for periods of 10 seconds or longer and sometimes for as long as a minute. These gaps in breathing are called apneas. (Apnea literally meaning absence of breath.) It is usually accompanied by snoring. People who have sleep apnea may not even be aware of the condition, but it inevitably causes daytime sleepiness.\n\nSleep apnea is generally categorized as obstructive, central, or mixed. A less severe form of obstructed breathing called upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is also worth mentioning.\n\nObstructive Sleep Apnea\nObstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common form of apnea, occurs when tissues in the upper throat (or airway) collapse at intervals during sleep, thereby blocking the passage of air. In general, OSA occurs as follows:\n\nOn its way to the lungs, air passes through the nose, mouth, and throat (known as the upper airway).\nUnder normal conditions, the back of the throat is soft and pliant and tends to collapse inward as a person breathes.\nCertain muscles, called dilator muscles, work against this to keep the airway open. Interference or abnormalities in this process cause air turbulence.\nIf the tissues at the back of the throat collapse and become momentarily blocked, apnea occurs. Breath is temporarily stopped. In most cases the person is unaware of it, although sometimes they awaken and gasp for breath.\nIn some cases, the interference is incomplete (called obstructive hypopnea) and causes continuous but slow and shallow breathing. In response the throat vibrates and makes the sound of snoring. Snoring can occur whether a person breathes through the mouth or the nose. (It should be noted that snoring also occurs without sleep apnea.)\nApnea decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood, and eventually this lack of oxygen triggers the lungs to suck in air.\nAt this point, the patient may make a gasping or snorting sound but does not usually fully wake up.\nObstructive sleep apnea is defined as five or more episodes of apnea or hypopnea per hour of sleep that occur in individuals who have excessive daytime sleepiness.\n\nCentral Sleep Apnea\nCentral sleep apnea is much less common. It is caused by some problem in the central nervous system, most likely a failure of the brain to signal the airway muscles to breathe. In such cases, oxygen levels drop abruptly and usually the sleeper wakes with a start. Often people with central sleep apnea recall waking up. They generally experience less sleepiness during the day than people with obstructive sleep apnea.\n\nMixed Apnea\nMixed apnea is the term used when the two apneas occur together.\n\nUpper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)\nUpper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a condition in which patients complain about excessive daytime sleepiness and they may snore and wake frequently during the night. However, UARS patients do not have the breathing abnormalities that characterize sleep apnea and they do not show reduction in oxygen levels in the blood. Unlike apnea, UARS is more likely to occur in women than in men. Treatments are similar to those of sleep apnea. It is not known if UARS has any serious health complications.\n\n\nHealthy Sleep\nIn sleep studies, subjects spend about one-third of their time asleep, suggesting that most people need about eight hours of sleep each day. Individual adults differ in the amount of sleep they need to feel well rested, however. (Infants may sleep as many as 16 hours a day.)\n\nThe daily cycle of life, which includes sleeping and waking, is called a circadian (meaning "about a day") rhythm, commonly referred to as the biologic clock. Hundreds of bodily functions follow biologic clocks, but sleeping and waking comprise the most prominent circadian rhythm. T

People snore when they aren't exhausted. Its just a thing that happens. =something about not breathing through their nose, and the muscles and tongue block air so it has to force its way through.

Progressively the person find difficulties to breath, when in the stage of sound like a whistle when sleeping is already advanced after that is short of breath and therefore death..☺

As a supervisor, you need to first speak with them and let them know you are aware of their sleeping habits on the job.  Find out why this is this the case, give him a warning to let him know this will go in his personnel file and if it keeps happening you will have to let him/her go.

Welcome to being human.  You really can't control what you do in your sleep.

yup it's absolutely ok to wake them up cuz it's hazardous for them...it woould mean problems with their heart...and u can even ask them to lie on their sides..that would lessen the snoring... =)) hope this helps!

Well, there's a REALLY rare illness, when people fall asleep for a REALLY long time, like a couple of days...\nI think that the record is amongst them, cos they can sometimes sleep for some months, and in ancient times they were thought to be dead, and barried alive...:S

THis is kinda funny.\n\nyour question suggest that the norm is that two people would fall asleep at the same time, always is the norm.\n\nIn fact the question should be why do you always notice that the others are asleep before you sleep...\n\nor why do they prented to sleep until you are asleep and then run to the fridge for some late night pie...see thats better.\n\nten points please.

Why do you have this obsession with weird sleep habits? (I just answered another of your questions regarding sleep.) Sleeping with your eyes open would be bad, since your eyes could dry out. As for sleeping standing up, I doubt that would be very good either.
