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