You snore

Snoring might happen when the air can’t move freely through your mouth and nose when you’re asleep. It can happen if you have nasal polyps, adenoids, or just a stuffy nose. Again, if you’re a bit overweight or you had a lot to drink, it might happen.

According to Albert Wu, MD, director of the Center for Health Services and Outcomes Research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, snoring is also a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. This happens because your upper airway is repeatedly blocked while you’re asleep, which causes you to stop breathing for a few seconds.
