Why do we only snore when we sleep and never when we are awake?
In: 10
[Snoring happens when the muscles in your soft palate and throat relax and vibrate as air flows past.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWhGqGNaVzY)
This is much more common when sleeping, but it can just as easily happen to people laying in a supine position while awake. It doesn’t happen as often when you’re awake because you’re subconsciously adjusting those muscles to be able to breathe easier.
