Partial airway blockage by fat when you are in a prone position. Snoring is just a narrow air passage in sleep that makes sound by the pressure of air forcing its way through. If you have the situation where your airway can become completely blocked temporarily, you have sleep apnea. If it's partially blocked, you snore, and you can have either one in different positions.
