  2. Snoring 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 gets older.

Men become less likely to snore after the age of 70.Sleeping on your back can make one more likely to snore during sleep. This problem may also happen when your throat 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.
