What is the relationship between snoring and mouth-breathing?
Mouth-breathing refers to breathing through mouth without using the nose. We can say that snoring is a type of mouth-breathing. Let’s imagine that snoring is like the strong building wind passing through the narrowed respiratory tract during breathing. Although not as many women snore as men, many are seen sleeping with mouth-breathing. Snoring frequently occurs when a person is tired or has taken medicine that relaxes muscles such as sleeping pills.
