What causes snoring in Houston?
During sleep, the muscles and soft tissues in the throat and mouth relax making the breathing airway smaller. This decrease in the airway space increases the velocity of air flowing through the airway during breathing. As the velocity of required air is increased in the constricted space, soft tissues like the soft palate and the uvula vibrate.
Relaxed and collapsed airway produces soft tissue vibrations during breathing which result in snoring.
