Most men deny they snore.
What they may not realise is that it might be. Four out of ten men and up to three out of ten women. Millions of partners and neighbours suffer sleep disturbed nights too. The noise of snoring is caused by parts of the nose and throat, in particular the soft palate, vibrating as you breath in and out. At night, muscles that help keep your airways open relax and become floppy, the airways narrow, vibrate more, so snoring is more likely.
