So What Is Snoring Exactly?

Snoring is vibrations of soft tissues located at the back of our
throats cause the noisy, annoying sounds of snoring that sometimes
prevent non-snorers from getting their sleep.

The palate, uvula and tonsils are the tissue structures that flap
against each other when someone has too much tissue at the back of
their mouth or when an obstruction is blocking the air passageway
to the back of the throat.

Snoring Problems

People with snoring problems tend to have one of the following
conditions:

- Poor muscle tone in the tongue and throat
- Excessive bulkiness of throat tissue
- Long soft palate and/or uvula tissue in the back of the mouth
- Obstructed nasal airways

Snoring can be a serious medical problem because it disturbs
sleeping patterns and deprives the snorer of necessary rest.
