Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. The sound may be soft or loud and unpleasant. The structures are usually the uvula and soft palate. The irregular airflow is caused by a blockage, due to causes including:
1.Allergies
2.Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep
3.Mispositioned jaw, often caused by tension in muscles
4.Fat gathering in and around the throat
5.Obstruction in the nasal passageway
Almost all cures for snoring revolve around clearing the blockage in the breathing passage. This is the reason snorers are advised to lose weight (to stop fat from pressing on the throat), to stop smoking (smoking weakens and clogs the throat), and to sleep on their side (to prevent the tongue from blocking the throat).
