A snore occurs when the airflow going through the airways, causes the tissues of the nose and throat to vibrate. Men tend to snore more than women according to medical studies because they have a more narrow airway. During sleep, the throat narrows, which is why the air that passes through it causes the tissues to vibrate resulting in the sound of a snore, the narrower the throat or passage of air gets, the louder the vibrations, thus the louder the snore. The following are some of the known causes and known cures for snoring.
