Snoring may be happening involuntarily but for somebody sharing the bed with the person who is snoring, it can be a disturbing experience.

So, how does snoring happen? In other words, what are the causes of snoring?

Snoring is as a result of the obstacle of air flow - both inhale and exhaust - that happens in the part of air passage, where the back of the throat and tongue meets with the soft palate and uvula. The basic cause of the obstruction is the poorly toned or weakened muscles of throat and tongue, which when in a relaxed state may sway into the airway, blocking the free passage of air during every breath.
