For almost twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter with the very same group of guys (except for last winter season). Some of them are rather loud snorers. In fact, the loud snorers have their own bunk room in the lodge. I was discussing this recently when my daughter 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 explanation is discovered in a TED-Ed lesson titled
Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly?.

Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly? explains what sleep apnea is, what triggers it, why it triggers snoring, and some methods to treat sleep apnea. Enjoy the full video lesson here and find the accompanying discussion questions here..
