While some people find it peaceful to pass away while they sleep, others find it unsettling. There are many different reasons why people may pass in their sleep, and sometimes it is just an unexplained natural cause. This article will explore the question – “Why do people die in their sleep?”. Also, we’ll dive deeper into the causes of people dying in sleep, the risks of dying in sleep, and warning signs.
The most common natural cause of death while people are sleeping is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops temporarily during sleep. It is usually caused by an obstruction in the throat, such as a blocked airway or a collapsed Lung. These blockages can cause an individual to wake up repeatedly during the night, disrupting their sleep. In severe cases, the lack of oxygen from the pauses in breathing can cause the individual to die.
But I will talk about four things that could cause a fatal sleep-related outcome.
1. Stroke
The heart may affect other systems that rely on its ability to circulate blood. Most notably, an irregular heart rhythm may lead to a clot that travels to the brain and causes a stroke. High blood pressure, or hypertension, may increase the risk.
If a stroke impacts the brainstem, breathing, eye-opening, muscle control, and consciousness may be compromised. These strokes may be fatal and can occur in sleep
2. sleep disorder
Untreated sleep apnea is associated with several health conditions, and some of these can become serious enough to lead to death. In people with sleep apnea, breathing is temporarily restricted or stopped during sleep, which can cause the level of oxygen in the blood to go down and the level of carbon dioxide to rise
3. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide builds up in the blood. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, the body replaces the oxygen in the red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death.
Carbon monoxide is gas that has no odor, taste or color. Burning fuels, including gas, wood, propane or charcoal, make carbon monoxide. Appliances and engines that aren’t well vented can cause the gas to build up to dangerous levels. A tightly enclosed space makes the buildup worse.
4. Heart Attack
Life depends on your heart, which beats continuously without interruption. Sudden cardiac death can occur at any time, and it is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Heart disease ranks among the leading causes of death in the world each year.
About 22% of cardiac fatalities happen at night. Heart diseases like heart attacks and heart failure are to blame for the majority of deaths that happen while a person is asleep.……..See More
