Snoring is caused by the flow of air rushing across relaxed muscles in the mouth and throat during sleep. While your muscles relax, they collapse back into the throat which narrows and blocks the airway. As you breathe, the walls of the throat begin to vibrate generally when you breathe in , but also, to a lower extent, when you breath out.
