For almost twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the same group of guys (except for last winter). A few of them are rather loud snorers. The loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was talking about this a few days ago when my daughter asked, “whats snoring?” My best explanation for my four-year-old was “its a noise that some individuals make when theyre sleeping.” A better explanation is discovered in a TED-Ed lesson entitled
Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly?.

Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly? describes what sleep apnea is, what causes it, why it triggers snoring, and some ways to treat sleep apnea. Enjoy the full video lesson here and find the accompanying discussion questions here..
