For almost twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter with the very same group of men (other than for last winter). Some of them are rather loud snorers. In fact, the loud snorers have their own bedroom in the lodge. I was speaking about this recently when my daughter asked, “whats snoring?” My best description for my four-year-old was “its a sound that some people make when theyre sleeping.” A much better explanation is discovered 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 causes it, why it triggers snoring, and some ways to treat sleep apnea. Enjoy the full video lesson here and discover the accompanying discussion concerns here..
