I was sleeping and was suddenly woken up by choking

Many people have the problem of restless sleeping. For example, sometimes when they are sleeping, they will suddenly feel weightless and wake up suddenly. Some people are woken up by their own saliva when they are sleeping. This is a very normal phenomenon. Although it sounds funny, it may be caused by a serious physical illness and requires our attention. So, what are the possible reasons if you are suddenly woken up by choking while you are sleeping? How should we respond?

1. Keep a calm head, quickly determine the fire point, and identify the areas that have not been affected by the fire, and determine the best location and method of escape.

2. Get up immediately. As long as you are not naked, it will be fine. Don't get out of bed until you are fully dressed. Time is everything at this moment. You must race against time. If you are still busy putting on clothes and socks, you will not only make things more chaotic, but also delay the best time to escape.

3. Immediately wake up family members who are still sleeping, and never just focus on escaping yourself. Don't rush to rescue valuables such as passbooks and cash. Money can be earned again, but life is only once.

4. The bathroom is basically unlikely to be a fire point, so before the fire spreads to the bathroom, quickly take water to soak towels, blankets, quilts, etc. Use a wet towel to cover your mouth and nose to prevent suffocation caused by inhaling thick smoke. Blankets and cotton are used to cover the body to avoid burns when walking through flames.

5. Fireworks have a high temperature and are in the upper layer of the air, while the fresher air is close to the ground. Therefore, when escaping, you should crawl on your stomach or walk quickly with your back bent and knees bent.

6. If the fire is too big and you cannot escape through the safety exit, close the door quickly to prevent flames and smoke from entering. Use a damp cloth to seal the door gap tightly to block out as much smoke and fire as possible. If there is sufficient water source, keep taking water and pouring it on every corner of the room to prevent the fire outside from spreading to this room.

7. If you live on the first floor, you can climb out directly through the window. If it is on the second floor, you can first throw a quilt, mattress or other items on the ground as a cushion, and then climb out of the window and jump onto the cushion. Two or three floors up, you need to tear bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, etc. into strips, tie escape knots, and then tie them to window frames or other solid and firm objects. Hold on to the ropes with both hands and descend to the ground quickly and safely. If you are a high-rise resident, it is recommended not to jump out of the window blindly, as the risk is just as great as a fire. It is recommended that you stand by the window or balcony, shine a flashlight outside, or keep throwing things down to make noise to attract the attention of rescue workers.

8. Most high-rise buildings have fire escapes. If you can successfully escape to the corridor, you must go through the fire escape and never take the elevator. Once the elevator breaks down, it will be stuck in mid-air, unable to go up or down, and may even fall directly to the ground, causing casualties.
