Apart from children, who usually don’t snore. People have told me I don’t snore at all. No one has told me I do and I even recorded myself asleep once.

  • 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.

    As far as I know, it’s kind of common. Neither I nor my wife snore AFAIK.

    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 up the water pressure

    After a certain age, older people often start to snore. Everything starts sagging, including the soft part of the upper palate.

    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.

    sleep on the side, it prevents snoring. but you should get checked for sleep apnea, which is common in people who are overwheight.

    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.

    I’ve never snored. But I have woken myself up talking in my sleep. Most people I’ve slept in the same room with also have never snored. The only person I know who snores is my sister.
