Snoring is a noise produced by the vibration of the walls of the pharynx which is part of the throat at the back of the tongue. Several small muscles hold it open. When we go to sleep these muscles relax and cause the airway to become narrow.  This led to the obstruction in the air passage. As a result, the pharyngeal walls vibrate and produce the noise of snoring when breathing in and out. When the vibration increases, your snoring becomes louder.  But don't lose hope, there are many snoring remedies to help in stopping snoring.

Up to 60% of men and 40% of women of all age groups snore.  Those from the middle aged group snore the most because of decreased muscle tone.

The main snoring causes are ;

1. Your mouth anatomy where your air flows through a narrow passage due to a low, thick soft palate or enlarged tonsils or tissues in the back of your throat (adenoids).   Likewise, there is an elongated triangular piece of tissue hanging from the soft palate (uvula) that can block the airflow and increases vibration leading to snoring.

2. Being overweight causes the extra fat around the neck area narrows your air passage.

3. Consuming too much alcohol before bedtime can cause snoring because alcohol relaxes your throat muscles and increases the obstruction of your air passage.
