Snoring is like a loud whisper from your throat during sleep. When someone sleeps, their tongue and soft palate can relax and block the airway. This makes the air push through a narrow space, causing vibrations that sound like snoring. Some people snore because they are tired or have stuffy noses.
Examples
- A man sleeps on his back and starts snoring loudly because his tongue blocks the airway.
- A child with a stuffy nose snores softly through the night.
- A woman drinks wine before bed and snores more than usual.
