Snoring is noisy breathing caused by the vibration of soft tissue in your airway when it is relaxed during sleep. Studies have shown it is common affecting up to 40% of the UK population. It is associated with a condition called obstructive sleep apnoea. This is where the airway narrows to such a degree that it completely closes during sleep so breathing is interrupted. This causes irregular breathing at night which can result in excessive sleepiness during the day.
