What’s Snoring? – Another Question from my Daughters

For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the same group of people (except for last winter). Some of them are rather loud snorers. The loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was talking about this the other day 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 found in a TED-Ed lesson entitled
Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly?.

Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly? discusses what sleep apnea is, what triggers it, why it triggers snoring, and some ways to treat sleep apnea. Watch the complete video lesson here and find the accompanying discussion concerns here..
