Why do our voices sound deeper in the morning?
Human bodySpeech
Quick Answer
The vocal cords are often slightly swollen after lying down overnight, which lowers pitch. Mild dehydration and mucus can also make the voice sound rougher or deeper.
The Full Story
The voice is produced when air passes through the vocal folds in the larynx. Overnight, reduced swallowing and gravity can allow a bit of fluid to collect in the tissues, making the folds less flexible. That can lower the pitch and create a huskier sound after waking. As the day goes on, hydration, movement, and speaking help the vocal cords return to their usual state.
Key Facts
1.Voice pitch depends on the vocal folds in the larynx
2.Swelling can lower pitch and make the voice huskier
