A member asked:
What causes snorting before falling asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible OSA: Sounds like sleep apnea. Often time people will snort and wake themselves as they are transitioning from wake to sleep due to relaxation of the muscles of the upper airway and subsequent apneas/hypopneas. See you doctor, as a sleep study may be indicated.
