Can you tell me a little bit about snoring and what causes it?

Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissues in your throat, mouth, and nose. This can be due to an obstruction or narrowing of the airway, excess tissue in the back of the throat, and/or a relaxed upper airway muscles. Other factors that may contribute to snoring include obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, allergies, stress, and certain medications.
