and still snore, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. Snoring has many potential contributors:
🔹 Nasal congestion: Allergies, colds, or a deviated septum can narrow nasal passages, forcing mouth breathing and increasing snoring risk.
🔹 Weight: Extra tissue around the neck can compress the airway regardless of position.
🔹 Alcohol or sedatives: These relax throat muscles, making vibration more likely—even on your side.
🔹 Sleep apnea: Loud, persistent snoring with pauses in breathing may signal obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which requires medical evaluation.
🔹 Anatomy: Jaw structure, tongue size, or throat
