I've always wondered whether strong singer would snore... they got to have pretty decent control as well as well exercised muscles in that area

I recently saw this study, but it's almost 20 years old, I don't know if there's more recent data available.

"Didgeridoo playing as alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: randomised controlled trial"

Results: significantly less snoring and sleep apnea. N=25
This deserves its own submission I think.
When my band toured and we could afford two hotel rooms, the singer would get one room and the rest of us would take the other. He was by far the loudest snorer of the 5 of us. Obviously just a funny anecdote but definitely not always the case that singers are the quiet sleepers. Or maybe he just needed more singing lessons.
this is hilarious, I cracked up at the loud part. Talented singer for sure with amplification down to boot!
