8 Common Reasons Why People Die In Their Sleep
Death is one of life’s few certainties, that and taxes. It’s scary to think that while you rest, you could face the possibility of passing on from this life. It’s a common belief that this is the best way to go. Though It might seem preferable to many, it’s not very comforting when it happens to young people.https://pastebin.com/xLmigD6i https://pastebin.com/KjiWwmES https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/ …https://www.epidemicsound.com/ https://goo.gl/tUqro6 https://www.facebook.com/bestieinc/ https://www.instagram.com/bestiehealth/

1.04 -> Imagine closing your eyes and
falling asleep, never to awaken.
4.48 -> (Pause)
5.36 -> Death is one of life’s few certainties, that and
taxes. It’s scary to think that while you rest,
10.08 -> you could face the possibility
of passing on from this life.
12.88 -> It’s a common belief that this is the best way
to go. Though It might seem preferable to many,
16.72 -> it’s not very comforting when
it happens to young people.
20.16 -> In today’s video, we will explore what it truly
means to pass on in our sleep and how it happens
24.4 -> in the first place! Stick around as we dig deep
into the reasons why people die in their sleep.
29.84 -> (bestie intro)
31.867 -> (Pause)
32.88 -> Number one on our list is heart attacks.
36.08 -> Researchers have found that a large number
of people pass on in their sleep due to
39.68 -> heart attacks. A heart attack occurs when
the blood flow to the heart is cut off or
43.2 -> slowed to a large extent. Most of the
time, blood flow becomes blocked due
47.52 -> to the build-up of fat, cholesterol, and
other substances in the heart’s arteries.
52.72 -> Coronary artery disease causes most heart
attacks. In coronary artery disease,
57.2 -> one or more arteries block the blood supply to
the heart, and plaques, deposits of cholesterol,
61.68 -> are usually to blame. Plaques can narrow the
arteries, cutting off blood flow to the heart.
67.08 -> (Pause)
68.08 -> Arrhythmias follow at a close second.
71.12 -> Arrhythmias, a common cause
of death while sleeping,
73.707 -> is associated with the heart's electrical
activity. Cardiac blocks that disrupt the
77.84 -> electrical pattern cause heart failure and death.
81.28 -> Often sudden, unexpected death while sleeping has
been blamed on the failure of the heart beating.
86.24 -> The incorrect signaling causes the heart
to beat too quickly or slowly. Due to these
90.16 -> irregularities, the heart muscle gets damaged.
The charge required to fire the muscle in a
94.72 -> synchronized manner may be disrupted. Contractions
may become irregular, too fast, or too slow,
99.6 -> and the effectiveness of the heart's pumping
may be compromised, leading to cardiac arrest.
105.16 -> (Pause)
106.16 -> Strokes are another common sign.
108.96 -> Strokes frequently occur during sleep, which can
result in sudden death. The heart significantly
114.16 -> influences other systems that rely on its blood
circulation capacity. In particular, an abnormal
119.28 -> heartbeat can induce a blood clot to move to
the brain and cause a stroke. Hypertension,
123.76 -> or high blood pressure, may raise the
risk to a greater extent; consequently,
127.44 -> people with these traits and symptoms are
more vulnerable to dying in their sleep.
132.2 -> (Pause)
133.2 -> Congestive heart failure also
plays a role in sudden death.
137.44 -> Congestive heart failure can also eventually
result in total heart failure. Left-sided
141.76 -> heart failure can rapidly affect the right
side of the heart, which results in fluid
145.36 -> accumulation in the lungs, shortness of breath,
mainly while lying down, and peripheral edema
150.32 -> in the feet and legs. Overloaded heart volume
can halt its ability to pump blood. Once the
154.88 -> heart stops pumping blood, the person becomes
brain dead and passes away in their sleep.
159.84 -> In other instances, the affected person
may have had an undiscovered cardiac
163.28 -> problem that made them more susceptible
to dying from an irregular heart rhythm.
167.52 -> Heart disease can kill both the
elderly and the young. The American
171.04 -> Academy of Pediatrics identifies
sudden cardiac death during sleep
175.2 -> or the day as the most significant
cause of death among young athletes.
180 -> The heart and lungs work together, and just
like a team, if one system fails quickly,
184 -> the other is likely to fail soon after.
187.08 -> (Pause)
188.08 -> Let’s explore Pulmonary disease.
191.04 -> Pulmonary disease is often long-lasting,
and its effects may show slowly.
195.12 -> Progression of this disease can result in death.
198.64 -> At the most basic level, the lungs are in charge
of obtaining oxygen and carbon dioxide from the
203.44 -> air. When the lungs don't function properly,
the amount of oxygen in the blood drops,
207.2 -> and carbon dioxide rises, your body’s
acid-base balance can change drastically.
213.12 -> Asphyxiation can happen when there is a
sudden blockage, like when someone chokes
217.12 -> on vomit. Even though it's unlikely, a case of
obstructive sleep apnea could also end in death.
223.04 -> Chronic illnesses such as chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease,
226.48 -> cystic fibrosis, emphysema, lung tumors, and
pneumonia that get worse over time can lead
231.68 -> to respiratory failure. Respiratory failure
occurs when the lungs themselves stop working.
237.12 -> Changes in the muscles or nervous system,
like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
241.68 -> or myasthenia gravis, can also
cause the lungs to stop working.
246.16 -> Sometimes, congenital disabilities, like
congenital central hypoventilation syndrome,
250.96 -> can make it hard to breathe. SIDS- sudden
infant death syndrome is a condition when
255.6 -> babies don't breathe properly while they sleep,
which in some cases may lead to sleep death.
261 -> (Pause)
262 -> Sleep apnea is common in sleep deaths.
265.2 -> One of the worst widespread causes, among
the many different types of sleep apnea,
268.96 -> is obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep
apnea primarily affects our sleep patterns.
273.92 -> It causes recurrent stops and starts while
breathing during sleep, resulting in your throat
278.08 -> muscles relaxing intermittently throughout
sleep, which leads to airway obstruction.
282.16 -> Researchers state that untreated sleep apnea has
an increased risk of experiencing a heart attack.
287.12 -> People with untreated sleep apnea are
twice as likely to suffer a stroke.
291.76 -> So how does obstructive sleep apnea kill?
When the air passage of the breathing
296 -> system becomes clogged, oxygen levels
in the blood might abruptly decrease.
300.16 -> If a person is already at risk for heart attack
and stroke, obstructive sleep apnea can trigger
304.8 -> a sudden cardiac event or brain attack that
can lead to an untimely death during sleep.
310.24 -> Patients with obstructive sleep apnea have
a greater risk of sudden cardiac death
314.4 -> between midnight and 6 a.m. Data suggests that
about 22 million Americans have sleep apnea,
319.68 -> and about 80% of these cases are left untreated.
323.84 -> (Pause)
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning the silent killer.
327.84 -> Carbon monoxide is an odorless,
colorless gas typically produced
331.28 -> by fuel combustion in automobiles,
fireplaces, gas stoves, barbecues,
335.52 -> and furnaces. Carbon monoxide poisoning can
occur in poorly ventilated, enclosed spaces.
341.92 -> Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms range from
headache, vertigo, and weariness to vomiting,
346.72 -> loss of consciousness, and abrupt death. The best
technique to detect carbon monoxide in your home
351.52 -> is to install a carbon monoxide
detector and routinely run tests.
356.16 -> According to data from the CDC, roughly 400 people
359.2 -> die from carbon monoxide poisoning
every year in the United States alone.
364.2 -> (Pause)
365.2 -> Last but not least, on our list is epilepsy.
368.72 -> Epilepsy considerably increases the risk
of dying while sleeping. The Epilepsy
372.88 -> Foundation claims that more than 1 in 1,000
epileptics die suddenly each year. Those who
378.32 -> have epilepsy and successfully manage their
illness with proper treatment can lower the
382.24 -> likelihood that they will pass away due
to sudden unexpected death during sleep.
385.92 -> (Pause)
386.8 -> It looks like we have explored the major causes
of why people die in their sleep. Hopefully,
390.64 -> you have learned that the likelihood of
passing away during sleep is primarily
393.68 -> influenced by your heart and brain
health, along with a few other factors.
398.24 -> People may reason that once your time has
come, there is nothing you can do about it.
401.76 -> We often ignore warning signs of poor
health, especially within our heart!
405.2 -> Let’s keep the conversation going with a
couple more heart-related videos. Shall we?
