Why do we snore?

Do u know what makes you snore while sleeping?Atleast i dont do it!!But there are a lot of people who suffer from this problem.
Now basically this happens due to the relaxation if muscles in and around throat.So when you sleep, relaxtion of throat muscles including its surrounding muscles occurs and thus the opening of nasal cavity becomes narrow. As we all know that lungs need a minimum of air to breathe, in order to do this the air intake activity increases and thus the air pressure increases.This causes the two muscles-UVULA and SOFT PALATE(see picture below) to vibrate.THIS VIBRATION OF UVULA AND SOFT PALATE CAUSES SNORING!!!!

Causes of snoring:

1. SOMETIMES BLOCKAGE MAY OCCUR IN NASAL PASSAGE OR OBSTRUCTION THROUGH ALLERGIES OR SINUSINFECTION MAYBE THERE WHICH MAY LEAD TO SNORING
2. SNORING MAY ALSO BE A RESULT OF LONG UVULAOR BROAD TONSILS.

BUT FOR THIS -QUITE AMAZING!!!!
