Snoring is a noisy sleep. Snoring occurs when airflow is restricted during sleep. We push air through our nose, mouth and throat while breathing. An obstructed airway causes the tissues to vibrate and flutter making a rattling or grumbling sound. This is “Snoring”.
It can be startling for people to know that they snore while they have always been proud of being a silent sleeper. This might be because there is no one to tell them. People may also wonder what cause them to snore.
