Snoring is the sound made when your breathing is blocked while you sleep. Tissues at the top of the airway strike each other and vibrate.
Who snores
Snoring is common, especially among older people and people who are overweight.
When it matters
- Sleep: severe snoring can wake you often during the night and leave you sleepy in the day, and it can disturb your bed partner's sleep.
- Sleep apnea: snoring can be a sign of this serious sleep disorder. See your health care provider if you are often tired during the day, don't feel you sleep well, or wake up gasping.
Snoring less
- Lose weight if you are overweight — it may help, though thin people snore too.
- Cut down on, or avoid, alcohol and other sedatives at bedtime.
- Don't sleep flat on your back.

There is no treatment for an HPV infection itself — only for what it causes. Nearly every sexually active person gets it, the immune system clears most of it, and the danger is the high-risk infection that quietly persists at the cervix for years. Screening and vaccination are the entire defence.

Children grow at different rates, so a parent cannot reliably judge whether a child has obesity — a provider checks weight and height against a healthy range. And where a weight-loss plan is needed, the advice is to involve everyone, not the child alone.
