Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Snoring typically occurs during NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep, which is characterized by slower brain waves and decreased muscle activity. During NREM sleep, the throat muscles relax, which can cause the airway to narrow and vibrate, resulting in snoring. Snoring is less common during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is characterized by more active brain waves and muscle paralysis.
