Sleep Report: Good Sleep Day #30

How was your sleep research during the three-day Good Sleep Day event?

Our sleep tends to be shorter and shallower during the full moon. However, we found that on the night of the full moon during this Good Sleep Day event, all researchers’ worldwide average sleep duration was 2 min. and 6 sec. longer than average.

How Can Snoring Affect Sleep?

Snoring a lot makes our sleep unstable, and it is sometimes associated with sleep disorders.

Snoring is caused by vibrations of the throat which happen when the muscles that support our respiratory tract relax during sleep and the throat narrows when we breathe in.

As the respiratory tract narrows further, the walls of the respiratory tract get pulled inward when we inhale, making us unable to breathe.

The repeated cessation of breathing during sleep is a condition called sleep apnea syndrome. In severe cases, it can be associated with life-threatening conditions such as strokes and heart attacks.

People tend to snore more often when they sleep on their backs.
So, one way to reduce snoring is to cultivate the habit of sleeping on your side.

You may be able to sleep on your side for longer if you use things like a pillow made for side sleepers, which is higher on both sides, or a body pillow large enough to rest your arms and legs on.

Pokémon Sleep records ambient sounds while you sleep, so if you get the feeling you haven’t been sleeping as well as you could have, it may be worth looking into how much you’ve been snoring.
