      People often snore when their airways are partially blocked. When you have a cold, your airways are all bunged up with snot, meaning you snore!

      I don’t think everyone snores when they have a cold, but most people probably do! It is because of all the snot in our nose, that partially blocks it and means that the air rushing past has a smaller space, making you snore.

      If what my girlfriend says is true, I snore all the time whether I have a cold or not!
