5.The Shape of Your Nose
If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the other — that’s called a deviated septum. That can make it harder for you to breathe and make you snore. The same can happen if your nose was hurt in an accident. Talk to your doctor if you think something like this is going on with you — surgery can sometimes fix it.
6.The Shape of Your Mouth
If the upper part of your mouth toward your throat — your soft palate — is low and thick, it can narrow your airway and make you snore. That also can happen if the small piece of tissue that hangs from your soft palate — the uvula — is longer than usual. You may be born with these things, but they can get worse if you’re overweight. Surgery can sometimes help with this, too.
