What does SNORE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a rough, rasping or grunting sound in the nose and throat while sleeping, caused by vibrating tissue at the back of the throat.
People snore when the soft tissue at the back of the throat relaxes during sleep and vibrates as air passes over it, producing the familiar rattling sound. It is more likely on the back, after alcohol, or with a blocked nose, and can be loud enough to wake a partner sleeping in the same room. The word also works as a noun for the sound itself, as in a single loud snore, and severe or repeated snoring is sometimes linked to breathing disorders such as sleep apnoea.
