What Causes Snoring?
During sleep, the muscles & soft tissues in the throat and mouth relax making the breathing airway smaller. This decrease in space increase the velocity of air flowing through the airway during breathing. As the velocity increases in the constricted space, the soft tissues like the soft palate and the uvula vibrate producing the classic snoring sound. It should also be noted that sleep studies have shown that excess body weight, heavy alcohol consumption and sedatives have been shown to increase the severity of snoring.
