Many causes: Many factors can lead to snoring: the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses, alcohol consumption, allergies, a cold, and your weight. If you wake up with unrefreshed sleep or doze off during the daytime, you may be at risk for obstructive sleep apnea. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003207.htm

Snoring definition: Snoring is the loud, rasping noise made by the vibration of the soft palate, uvula and unsupported structures in the airway during sleep. An examination may show a decreased space at the back of your mouth, where your throat begins. See a sleep specialist for evaluation and treatment options.
