Most people sleep with their head on a pillow. But did you know that carelessness with this pillow can cause great harm to your health? Find out how.
Many people fold the pillow horizontally from the middle in their sleep. There is only one reason for this. The pillow becomes a little higher. Although seemingly innocent, it can cause great damage to health.
An article has recently been published in the Harvard Health Publishing Journal on the harms of pillows. It has been claimed that if the head is at an angle of more than 30 degrees to the body, breathing problems may occur. Although it is not detected in sleep, it can cause great harm in the future.
What could be the damage as a result?
Folding the pillow disrupts air circulation in the trachea. As a result, the mouth opens. Yes, as a result of breathing, the throat and inside of the mouth become dry. The amount of germs there increases. Not only that, it results in severe tooth decay. Sleeping in this way for a long time damages the lungs.
This article claims that not only folding pillows but also lying on multiple pillows can cause similar damage.
