Why do I get bloating when I sleep on the table

Why does bloating occur when sleeping on the table? Stomach bloating is caused by weakened gastrointestinal motility. When a person falls asleep, gastrointestinal motility will weaken and gas will be produced in the stomach. If a person lies on the table, the gas will naturally run upwards, causing the urge to burp. This is an unhealthy way of sleeping, but it is not a very serious problem in itself, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

Why does bloating occur when sleeping on the table? After falling asleep, the gastrointestinal function weakens. In other words, the gastrointestinal motility slows down. Normally, the gas produced by digestion will be discharged from the bottom with the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, but when you fall asleep, the peristalsis is slow and the gas will naturally run upwards. The gas cannot be discharged or less is discharged, so of course you will feel bloated. This is why you feel bloated after waking up, and usually people sleep lying flat on their backs, so the gas will not run upwards but can only run to the sides, so part of it will be discharged and you will not feel bloated. It is recommended that you move more after waking up and you will naturally feel better.

Because the body is bent at that time, some gas will be swallowed while breathing during sleep. Because the abdomen is also bent and under pressure, the gas cannot be discharged downward, so it accumulates in the stomach. When the pressure is too high, it is discharged through the mouth through burping. That's the whole process. This does not require treatment, just change your sleeping position. Besides, sleeping on the table is not good for your health. People with stomach bloating will experience stomach bloating or hiccups when sleeping on their stomachs. If this happens, try to straighten your legs, gently rub your stomach with your hands to expel the bloating, and you will feel better.

The impact of sleeping on the table and bloating on the body

Many people like to take a nap on the desk to relieve the stress of work. Although this can make you feel refreshed, it will invisibly cause great harm to your health. Some office workers work overtime until late at night, or stay up late to play, which results in insufficient sleep. They fall into a deep sleep on the table at noon. When you wake up, you will find that the arm that you were using as a pillow is red and numb. Although these symptoms will disappear after a few minutes, your radial nerve may have been injured. If not taken care of, it will develop into nerve paralysis in the long run.

Many people who work in offices suffer from shoulder pain, arm pain and other problems, which may have a lot to do with using their arms as pillows. By the time chronic nerve damage occurs and medical attention is required, recovery is often too late. The sequelae caused sometimes last a lifetime. Therefore, it is best not to lie directly on your arms during a nap. It would be better to bring a small cushion or pillow, or even use your coat as a pillow. Moreover, ophthalmologists believe that the disadvantage of sleeping on your stomach is that it may put pressure on the eyeballs, causing the eyes to become congested and increase intraocular pressure. People with severe myopia should pay more attention to this.
