The chief freelance psychiatrist-narcologist of the Ministry of Health of the Moscow Region Vitaly Kholdin warned about the mortal danger of drinking alcohol before bedtime.
“In a drunk person, the tone of the muscles of the tongue, soft palate, and pharynx decreases, his sleep is accompanied by snoring and apnea syndrome, a temporary cessation of breathing. As a result, the brain and heart suffer from oxygen starvation. The risk of sudden death increases, ”the doctor said.
According to the doctor, alcoholic drinks worsen the quality of sleep: the body does not recover, the sleep phases are disturbed, the head hurts in the morning, the person feels weak and feels overwhelmed. In addition, alcohol has a diuretic effect and causes you to wake up several times a night.
Previously disclosed the relationship of alcohol consumption with amnesia. Under the influence of alcohol, different parts of the brain cease to function normally. There is a fragmentary loss of memory, and in severe cases – amnesia.
