Snoring can be caused by a number of factors, such as the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses, alcohol consumption, allergies, a cold, and your weight.


Some people snore and some don't. Here's why:

1 People with enlarged tonsils or an enlarged tongue are more likely to snore.

2 People with extra weight around the neck are more likely to snore.

3 The shape of one’s nose or jaw can also cause snoring.
