Why is our voice lower when we wake up than when we go to sleep?
In: Biology
Simply, testosterone levels rise during sleep and are at its peak when you wake up. Also the reason for morning wood.
I’m not a biologist, but I was told by a dating expert that it’s not entirely implausible that it is to entice sexual partners and temporarily increase sexual attraction for a “morning mating session”. I like this theory because it also explains why morning wood is a thing. Maybe we are meant to be humping in the morning and not at night?
Mine isn’t! Mine is always so high pitched that when i wake up my boyfriend has to tell me to quiet down so I don’t wake anyone else up, his family all wake up late in the afternoon but I always wake up so early that I really need to be careful about my voice hahaha 😊
I’m no expert but I’m gonna assume they are like any type of muscle and they aren’t warmed up yet? Maybe not stretched properly?
I literally had this question last night and woke up to seeing this, how funny! If anyone else is reading this then, could you explain why then if you stay up late enough your voice starts to get worn out?
Well, it’s the acoustics. It’s all about diffusion. It keeps the sound waves from grouping. You see when the sound waves, they propogate, then it’s like harmonic reinforcement.
Its because your sympathetic nervous system has low activity and your ventral nervous system is active. This can also be translated to: you feel relaxed and safe.
That’s why when you are scared your voice becomes tiny because your muscle tense up (also the ones surrounding your throat) and it becomes hard to relax because of the overactive sympathetic nervous system.
Read about the polyvagal theory if you wish to learn how to understand and better control these systems. Eg. become relaxed and have a deeper voice.
Might not be universal? Mines always “forgot the balls dropped” high pitched.
Unless I speak English. Then I’m a man.
Hola.
I assumed it was because my throat is more dry overnight that it has had less water to drink
So what is it about smoking that gives someone a deeper gravely voice?
