What causes snoring?

snoring When you fall asleep, the soft tissue and muscles in your mouth and throat relax, causing your airway to shrink. If the airway becomes too small, the soft palate and uvula begin to vibrate with each inhalation and exhalation. These vibrations are the cause of snoring and many sleepless nights.
