why we snore when we feel sleepy?
When we are awake, the muscles of the throat hold the throat open, so that air passes in smoothly as we breathe. During sleep, these muscles relax and the throat can become narrow. The tissue (including the soft palate, uvula and tonsils) relaxes and vibrates against the back of the throat during breathing, which create noise or snore.
