Snoring can be a real nuisance, especially when it’s coming from someone you share a bed with.

Many people have dealt with this issue, and there are steps you can take to improve the situation.

<h3>Understanding snoring</h3>

Snoring occurs when the soft tissues at the back of the throat relax and vibrate as air passes through. It's more common in men and can be worsened by obesity, alcohol consumption, and certain medications.

Snoring can be annoying, but it's not always a harmless condition. In some cases, it can be a symptom of a more serious underlying health issue, such as sleep apnea. If you're concerned about your partner's snoring, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor.
