Why Do People Snore?
9. Sleep Posture
Once we have fallen asleep, we will occasionally move parts of our body. This helps to keep the blood flowing through the body and helps ensure our body weight is spread evenly. We also have our preferences in regards to how we sleep, and our sleeping position can cause us to snore.

Some people like to sleep on their front or on their sides, while others prefer to sleep on their back. People that tend to sleep on their backs are more likely to snore because the throat tissues are more likely to fall back into the throat. With support from pillows and similar, you might be able to change your sleeping position to help discourage snoring.
