For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the very same group of men (except for last winter season). A few of them are rather loud snorers. The loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was speaking about this a few days ago when my child asked, “whats snoring?” My finest explanation for my four-year-old was “its a sound that some people make when theyre sleeping.” A 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 triggers it, why it triggers snoring, and some ways to treat sleep apnea. See the full video lesson here and find the accompanying discussion questions here..
