*What causes snoring?* 
Snoring can be caused by enlarged tonsils, the nose structure or excess weight around the neck. During sleep, our neck muscles can relax so much that in some cases the throat partly closes and becomes narrow, causing the vibration sound known as snoring.
Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep due to vibrating airway tissue

*HOW IT WORKS* 
=======================*How is a touchscreen works ?*
When an object, such as a fingertip or stylus tip, presses down onto the outer surface, the two layers touch to become connected at that point. The panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers, one axis at a time. By rapidly switching between each layer, the position of pressure on the screen can be detected.
A touchscreen is a bit like an invisible keyboard glued to screen. Essentially, every key on a keyboard is an electrical switch. When you push a key down, you complete an electric circuit and a current flows. The current varies according to the key you press and that’s how your computer figures out what you’re touching.
