Relaxed throat muscles: During sleep, the muscles in the throat relax, which can cause the airway to narrow or become blocked.
Anatomy: Certain physical characteristics, such as having a low, thick soft palate, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, or a deviated septum, can contribute to snoring.
Obesity: Excess weight, particularly around the neck, can put pressure on the airway, making it more likely to collapse during sleep.
Alcohol consumption: Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat, increasing the likelihood of airway obstruction and snoring.
Nasal congestion: Conditions like allergies, sinus infections, or a cold can cause nasal congestion, making it difficult to breathe through the nose and increasing the likelihood of mouth breathing and snoring.
Sleep position: Sleeping on your back can cause the tongue and soft tissues of the throat to collapse to the back of the throat, obstructing the airway and leading to snoring.
Sleep apnea: In some cases, snoring can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway.
