The oxygen depletion eventually becomes so great that your body, essentially, kick-starts your lungs and diaphraghm by spasming them.<br /><br />This is how exercise-induced athma works, too, to some extent. Except with EIA, there is also an overuse and irritation of the aveoli component. The coughing is your body's emergency response to needing to expel carbon dioxide and leave your airway temporarily expanded to drawn in more oxygen.<br /><br />You may or may not know, but you probably snore more, too, when you do sleep after being sleep deprived. Your respiratory tract is, again, working overtime to make up the oxygen deficit.<br /><br />-- EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
