Snoring occurs when airflow through the mouth and nose is partially obstructed during sleep, causing the surrounding tissues to vibrate. This obstruction can be due to factors such as relaxed throat muscles, excess tissue, nasal congestion, or structural abnormalities. While snoring is common and va...
