Yeah, some people snore when they sleep. If it’s too loud, it can affect others’ sleep.

It’s possible. For example, a blocked nose or being too tired can cause it. I’ve heard some people even have trouble breathing, which can be dangerous.

Right, some people wake up several times a night because of it, and eventually they have to sleep separately.
