eli5: Why do people snore?
In: Biology
Well, the answer is your tongue and throat loosen in deep sleep and it can partially block your airways. But. People mostly snore because they’re overweight. As in, there’s too much fat in the neck and chest which makes the passage narrower and causes snoring. If everyone was their ideal weight, most people wouldn’t snore / barely snore unless they had some sort of abnormality effecting their airway.
