Snoring - Introduction

Definition:

Snoring is the act of breathing through the open mouth in such a way as to cause a vibration of the uvula and soft palate , thus giving rise to a sound which may vary from a soft noise to a loud unpleasant sound. This most commonly occurs during sleep , or immediately after death.

The noisy breathing is the result of a relaxation of the palate; it is frequently induced by lying on one's back. Snoring may indicate some obstruction to nasal breathing such as enlarged adenoids; this is especially true in children.

The breathing during sleep with harsh noises caused by-"the snoring sleeper". To breathe heavily and with a snorting sound while sleeping. It can occur when you are breathing in or out.
