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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    I began snoring when I started gaining weight. So it’s likely common among people like myself that are not in the healthiest of state. But getting healthier will reduce it for myself.

    I didn’t use to snore at all prior to gaining weight. I let myself go for a few years but getting back to it now to get in shape.
