When the soft tissue structures of the upper airway collapse, they vibrate against each other as we try to breathe. This vibration produces the sound that we know as snoring. A large tongue, a long soft palate, enlarged tonsils, and the uvula can all cause snoring to occur.
Your bed partner can lose up to an hour or more of sleep each night due to your snoring. (That’s over 15 days per year!)
