Reason #1 why people snore: narrow airway through the throat and oral cavity.
When you have a restricted airway when you sleep causes air to move tissues in the oral cavity. The primary structures are the soft palate and uvula. Both of these structures are located in the upper jaw, uvula drops from the center of the top of the throat, the soft palate behind the hard palate by the upper teeth.
Reason #2 large neck girth or large soft palate or longer uvula
You can have issues were the soft palate is large overly fleshy or uvula is longer which can make it more likely to vibrate. Or if you are overweight or have wide neck girth that can be a contributing factor. All these issues narrow the airway leading greater likelihood or snoring as the airflow is restricted.
Reason #3 Individual snore causes
These are not as common reason why people snore but never the less can cause snoring. One of them is a deviated septum; the septum is the cartilage between the nostrils it can be skewed (less than straight) which can cause vibrations to come from the nostrils. The nostril it self can be flimsy causing snoring. The throat can be dry causing snoring vibrations.
Reason #4 Nasal Congestion
One major indirect cause of snoring is nasal congestion; it is indirect because it causes a person to breathe through the mouth instead of the nose. By breathing through the mouth it puts airflow more directly over the soft palate/uvula area. Nasal congestion can be caused by colds, allergies and air bourn particles. To clear the nasal passages you have a number of different options. One option is various kinds of nasal sprays, ranging from natural sprays as simple as putting salt in boiling water-cooling it and putting it into a sanitized spray bottle. To over the counter nose strays, which can help with milder nasal congestion? For persistent nasal congestion prescription steroidal sprays can help these as well as antihistamines for congestion due to allergies.

To avoid having snoring being a major issue, take steps to be proactive when you first notice you snore. Try to determine the most likely cause of your snoring. Do you have nasal congestion? Are there other causes deviated septum or an overweight condition. Also take immediate action on simple cures (sleep on the side instead of the back, avoid alcohol before sleeping). Take action on the simple cures and look into other reasons why you snore and do something to counteract it (loss weight, clear congestion).
