I remember way back when I had a girlfriend (13F). I was 14. She didn’t snore that loud when I slept over, but she would definitely snore. It just came to mind and made me wonder if it’s normal to do so at 13.

    Intensity matters.

    Light snoring is no biggie and 100% normal.

    When it’s moderate or heavy then it’s worth getting checked. If breathing pauses, esp. Followed by a fit, then it’s disorder (apnea). You’ll still need to do testing and work with a doctor.

    There are also several reflux conditions that can result from nicotine/alcohol use which all together may worsen snoring, cause daytime mucus buildup (hacking), and/or cause apnea.

      Only if it happens frequently enough. Apparently, having this happen a few times a night is normal for healthy people.
