I assume you are not aware of it, because of being asleep. Maybe it happens in deeper sleep?

Could be but I'm only talking of what I can consciously control. I do know I snore if I sleep on my back, that's probably sleeping with the mouth open.

The tongue and jaw muscles slack and relax when you fall asleep, like much of the rest of your body. For many, this causes apnea and heavy snoring.
