sleep snoring

Why do some people do this “teeth-fighting” or snoring while they sleep?
What cause them to?
My father snore and my mother did this teeth fighting while sleeping. My brother did both!
While we are asleep, turbulent airflow can cause the tissues of the nose and throat to vibrate and give rise to snoring. Essentially, snoring is a sound resulting from turbulent airflow that causes tissues to vibrate during sleep.
Bruxism is a medical term for grinding, gnashing or clenching teeth and it affects both children and adults. People affected with this disorder will often clench their teeth together unconsciously during the day at stressful times. Individuals who grind or clench their teeth at night suffer from sleep bruxism. Adults normally suffer from bruxism during the day or night whereas most children experience it during the night.
