Snoring is a nuisance. It creates hell for the person sleeping beside you. Your snoring sound may cause him/her to stay awake and you may later feel quite embarrassed because of your snores. The snoring sound is generated because of the vibration of the hind portion of the roof of mouth which is also known as soft palate. With each breathe of yours, the extra tissue in the palate and the uvula or the fleshy screen between tonsils vibrates, emanating the snoring sound. The sound swings from low to high pitches, may occur at regular or irregular intervals and is usually accompanied by heavy breathing. The factors causing snoring problem may listed as follows:
1. Decrease in muscle tone of soft palate and consequent collapsing against each other.
2. Lying on back that blocks the airway by throwing the tongue backward.
3. Enlarged tonsils blocking the airway
4. Enlarged adenoids blocking the airway
5. Large tongue obstructing airway
