Snoring happens when the air can't flow easily through your nose or mouth. Imagine you're trying to breathe through a straw, it's harder, and you make louder noises. When people sleep, their throat muscles relax, making the passage for air narrower, which causes vibrations that sound like snoring.
Examples
- Imagine trying to drink through a straw while someone holds the other end, you’d make a loud noise, just like when people snore.
- When you're tired at night and your throat feels extra loose, that's why it sounds louder.
- Snoring is like a sleepy person’s version of singing in the shower.
