Snoring

Snoring is noisy breathing through the mouth and nose during sleep. It can occur when you are breathing in or out. Thirty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 20 percent are habitual snorers. Snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons, and it usually grows worse with age. Snoring is often worse when a person sleeps on his back. Snoring arises when the air passage is blocked which inhibits easy & normal breathing. The sounds are caused by the vibration or flapping of the tissues lining the air passages. Most snorers actually don't know they snore.
