Do people make noise when they sleep?

Yes, people make noise when they sleep. Some of the most common sleep noises include snoring, teeth grinding, and sleep talking. Snoring is the most common sleep noise and affects up to 45% of adults. It occurs when the airway is blocked or narrowed during sleep, causing the tissue in the throat to vibrate and make a sound. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth during sleep. It is thought to be caused by a combination of factors, including stress, anxiety, and certain medications. Sleep talking, or somniloquy, is the act of talking during sleep. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment.
