Breathing and snoring are really the two things people associate when they produce snore sounds as they sleep. It is a logical conclusion to come to. The sounds are produced as you breathe and that is really the only way that you could look at it. Scientists have been looking into this problem for generations and they have struggled to find the answer. There have been discoveries on this problem, but there is a lot more to learn. I’m going to let you in on all this information about your breathing and the snoring problem.

I hope you can recognize that the sounds you hear are the vibration of respiratory structures. It’s this vibration (a better word is resonation) that causes the sound. Resonation is a concept that you would have heard back in high school physics class. It states that when you have two frequencies both with an amplitude of A and have the same frequency, you’ll end up with a wave of 2A at the same frequency. It’s not enough for your respiratory structures to vibrate and create snoring. It has to be a growing type of vibration that builds, which is resonance. The Tacoma Bridge is an example of this concept.

I bring up this scientific concept with snoring because it explains exactly what is happening. Now that we know there is a buildup of vibrations we can now define what is vibrating. The causes of snoring really come down to the soft palate, uvula, mucus and whatever else is in the airway of the throat.

We’re talking about breathing, snoring and whether they’re related. It is obvious that they are related, but does the breathing cause the actual vibration of snoring? This question has plagued medical researchers for some time, but they were forced to recognize one important fact; you don’t snore while you’re awake. If you’re breathing patterns remain the same, yet it doesn’t produce snore sounds while you’re awake than there has to be another variable in play.

The whole snoring problem can be summed up with pressure around the throat area. Pressure can be produced in many different ways. For example, if you're overweight than you'll have a lot of fat around the throat area.
