Why Do Some People ‘Snore’ and How Can It Be Reduced?

Snoring is when someone makes a loud noise while they sleep. It happens because the air in their throat gets blocked, and it makes a sound like a trumpet. Some people snore more than others, like how some people talk louder than others. To help them stop snoring, you can use special pillows or try to sleep on your side instead of your back.
