Snoring occurs when we are sleeping, for while doing so, the muscles in our upper airway tend to relax and wilt inward. When these muscles relax more than the usual, our air passage is blocked, making it difficult for the air to pass toward our lungs, our breathing stops for a brief period (apnea), thus resulting to snoring.

During apnea, an increase in the level of carbon dioxide happens. Our body will react to it and it will affect our heart rate and narrow our blood vessels. The more these muscles relax, the louder people would snore.

Some people are even unaware that they are snoring, with matching tossing and turning, and just waking up feeling tired and restless, or have poor quality of sleep. Some can even hear themselves snores when they are half-awake.
