As someone who's experienced snoring firsthand or seen it affect a loved one, you might know how disruptive it can be to a good night's sleep. Snoring happens when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe, which results in those familiar snoring sounds. Several factors can contribute to snoring:

• Anatomy Of Your Mouth And Sinuses
  A low, thick soft palate can narrow your airway. Individuals with a deviated septum or nasal polyps may also experience more snoring due to obstructed nasal airways.

• Being Overweight
  Excess body weight, especially around the neck, can compress and narrow the airway, leading to snoring.

• Alcohol Consumption
  Drinking alcohol before bedtime can relax the throat muscles more than usual, increasing the risk of snoring.

• Sleep Position
  Sleeping on your back can cause your tongue to fall backward into your throat, narrowing the airway and increasing the likelihood of snoring.

• Sleep Deprivation
  Not getting enough sleep can lead to further throat relaxation.

• Age
  As you age, your throat becomes narrower, and the muscle tone in your throat decreases, potentially worsening snoring.

• Alcohol Consumption
  Drinking alcohol before bedtime can relax the throat muscles more than usual, increasing the risk of snoring.
