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

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