For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the same group of people (other than for last winter season). Some of them are rather loud snorers. In truth, the loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was discussing this recently when my child asked, “whats snoring?” My finest explanation for my four-year-old was “its a noise that some people make when theyre sleeping.” A much better description is discovered in a TED-Ed lesson titled
Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly?.

Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly? explains what sleep apnea is, what causes it, why it triggers snoring, and some methods to deal with sleep apnea. See the complete video lesson here and discover the accompanying discussion questions here..
