• Snoring is referred to as an often loud or harsh
  sound that can be produced at the time of sleep.
  Snoring happens when the flow of air as you
  breathe makes the tissues in the back of your
  throat vibrate.The sound is most often produced
  as you breathe in air, and can come through the
  nose, mouth or a combination of the two. Snoring
  can occur during any stage of sleep.About more
  than half of the people snore at some point of
  time in their lives. Snoring is found to be more
  common in men, still many women snore. It seems
  to run in families and becomes more common as one

  are habitual snorers. Men become less likely to
  snore after the age of 70.Sleeping on your back
  can make one more likely to snore during sleep.

  muscles relax from use of alcohol or other
  depressants. Congestion from a cold or allergies
  can also cause you to snore. Snoring can be an
  irritation to your partner and anyone else
  nearby. You can even snore loudly enough to wake
  yourself up. Though, in many cases people do not
  realize that they snore. Snoring can also cause
  you to have a dry mouth or sore or irritated
  throat when you wake up.Light snoring may not
  disrupt your overall sleep quality. Heavy snoring
  can be attached with obstructive sleep apnea, a
  serious sleep disorder and a risk factor for
