	Snoring Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment by MedicineNet.com
		Snoring, like all other sounds, is caused by vibrations that cause particles in the air to form sound waves.
		Essentially, snoring is a sound resulting from turbulent airflow that causes tissues to vibrate during sleep.
		Snoring is most common in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, because of the loss of muscle tone characteristic of this stage of sleep.
