Besides children, people have told me I don’t snore at all. No one has told me I do and I even recorded myself asleep once.
sleep on the side, it prevents snoring. but you should get checked for sleep apnea, which is common in people who are overwheight.
I don’t snore at all though, but thanks!
i like to add, people with deviated septum would be susceptible too.
I think most people don’t snore most of the time actually. I’ve observed different people sleep several times in my life and the vast majority mostly didn’t snore.
Interesting, thanks!
As far as I know, it’s kind of common. Neither I nor my wife snore AFAIK.
Generally, not snoring on a regular basis is the default.
There’s a ton of things that lead to snoring, and if you factor in temporary side effects of illnesses, it would be unusual for anyone to never snore their entire life. But, depending on exactly how you want to phrase things, I don’t think snoring could be called the norm for the average person on a typical night. Obviously, those are imprecise terms, but it conveys the general situation, I think
There’s numbers out there if you go looking, but I don’t reckon you care about those if you’re asking here.
Ah, so I must be the norm! Thanks
After a certain age, older people often start to snore. Everything starts sagging, including the soft part of the upper palate.
To live an entire life and never snore? Probably not. You’ll probably get sick and stuffed up and snore at some point in your life. Is it possible to generally not snore? Yeah, maintaining healthy weight, good sleep hygiene, not being sick, avoiding allergens, and proper sleeping ergonomics will probably prevent 99.9% of snoring
good sleep hygiene
Me, hosing off the bed because it refused to get up and shower: “I told you, now it has come to this” turns of the water pressure
Most people don’t snore unless they’re overweight
That is so untrue is approaches absurdity.
Overweight people are more likely to snore because excess fat around the neck and throat can narrow the airway, increasing resistance to airflow and causing vibration during sleep.
So how exactly is that ‘absurd’ lmao?
or they have breathing related physical issues
From what I gather after a quick web search it seems about 40% of the population does not snore, so I guess it is pretty common.
Oh wow, interesting indeed! I’m one of 40% of the world
I’ve never snored. But I have woken myself up talking in my sleep.
Have you said anything weird??
Usually this only happens when I get so angry in a dream that I find myself shouting at them irl
Eat a better diet and get more exercise.
I don’t snore though
I began snoring when I started gaining weight. So it’s likely common among people like myself that are not in the healthiest of state. But getting healthier will reduce it for myself.
I didn’t use to snore at all prior to gaining weight. I let myself go for a few years but getting back to it now to get in shape.
Get back to it! Godspeed!
Thank you! I’m seeing a lot of positive results so far :) I’ve been rubbing my belly today as it’s been getting a lot smaller 😁

It’s totally possible. It’s also possible to snore only sometimes depending on head position, food eaten, age, and alcohol taken.
I have positions where I snore, where my wife then has to smack me in the middle of the night, I re-adjust and then I usually stop snoring.
Apparently she also smacks me when she needs cuddles, and apparently I understand the difference in smacks while I am asleep.
