2. Long Palate Or Uvula

Another physical reason for snoring is when a person either has a long soft palate or a long uvula. The uvula is the tissue that happens to dangle in a teardrop or bell shape at the back of the throat, sometimes confused for the tonsils, whereas the long soft palate sits above that. If these particular structures are irregularly shaped, they can hit each other or block the throat, which causes snoring.
