You are a mouth breather: You snore more in case you are a mouth breather. We are able to breathe both through our nose and mouth.

Your nasal airways are obstructed: They are people who snore when they get some allergies or have a sinus infection. In most of these situations your nasal airways get obstructed which can cause heavy snoring. Deformities of the nose like a deviated septum which refers to a structural change in the wall separating both your nostrils or nasal polyps can also cause obstruction and may make you a heavy snorer.

You have wrong facial structure: You may snore more because of a wrong facial structure and shape. Vibration in the soft tissues of your mouth deformities in these structures can make you a heavy snorer, say doctors. A long soft palate, an excess of tissue in the throat and a long uvula can be the risk indicators.

You sleep in wrong position: Habit is something that make humans and you won’t be able to come out of your habit that easily. An individual may find it difficult to sleep on the other side of the bed when his or her partner is out, all because of his or her habit of sleeping on one particular side. Among some, heavy snoring happens when they sleep in the wrong side or in a wrong position. While snorers mostly sleep on their back, there are side snorers as well, say doctors.
