What causes a person to snore??

This idiot i live with snores sooo loud that i can hear him from the other end of the house. It drives me CRAZY i can never sleep.

Answer:

Get a good pair of silicone earplugs and a really loud alarm clock. There are many reasons a person snores and none of them are as easy to fix as your ability to hear it.

nasal passage problems, over weight, sinus trouble, drinking. get ear plugs.

Snoring is the soft palate "flapping in the breeze" of the snorer's breathing. Sleeping on the back makes snoring worse, as does sleeping with the mouth open. Conditions such as severe colds, allergies, and sleep apnea can make snoring worse. I've been told by sleeping partners, that I snore worst when I've been drinking, or been very tired.

the dopple hanger at the back of the throat can you move the person or no cause if you can just turn them

The cause of snoring is a blockage in the breathing passage. Those blockages can be of many kinds鈥攈ere are just a few:

* Allergies

* Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep

* Mispositioned jaw, often caused by tension in muscles

* Fat gathering in, and around, the throat

* Obstruction in the nasal passageway

When the airflow in the breathing passage becomes irregular due to a blockage the soft palate may start flapping. This flapping of the soft palate is what makes the snoring sound

If you have problems with snoring, you锟絩e not alone. About half of all American adults snore occasionally, and almost a quarter snore frequently. This means that it锟絪 not just something in the water that causes your roommate and neighbors to all snore extremely loudly, it锟絪 also probability. That and the giant conspiracy covered up by alien body-snatchers who are actually making the snoring sounds to communicate with each other while the humans sleep.
