Introduction
Snoring i s the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during
breathing while sleeping. The structures which are affected are usually the uvula and soft palate. Because of blockage,
there is an improper flow of air, which causes the person to snore . The throat or pharynx is a muscular tube that relaxes
when you sleep, thereby decreasing in size. In some people, the narrowing is enough to cause vibration of soft tissues in
the pharynx, and this produces the noise of snoring. You can say that snoring is simply a loud sound that one makes during
breathing while asleep. Snoring is noisy breathing through the mouth or nose during sleep.
