About half of people snore at some point in their lives. Snoring is more common in men, though many women snore. It appears to run in families and becomes more common as you get older. About 40 percent of adult men and 24 percent of adult women are habitual snorers.

Reasons for snoring in females:
1.Weight gain is one of the reasons for snoring loud. Excessive weight leads to skin build up around the neck area.

2.Snoring in pregnancy is a very common thing. Snoring during pregnancy is caused by expanding blood vessels in the nasal cavity and the excess weight that comes along with it.

3.When we are really exhausted, muscle tissues are a little more in a relaxation mode and make the night noise process (snoring) worse.

4.Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep. 

5ways to prevent snoring:
1.Control your weight
2. Choose the right pillows
3.Stay hydrated
4.Maintained Sleep Hygiene
5.Overnight Sleep Study
