For almost twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the very same group of guys (other than for last winter). Some of them are rather loud snorers. In truth, the loud snorers have their own bunk room in the lodge. I was discussing this the other day when my daughter asked, “whats snoring?” My best description for my four-year-old was “its a sound that some individuals 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? describes what sleep apnea is, what triggers it, why it triggers snoring, and some methods to deal with sleep apnea. See the full video lesson here and discover the accompanying discussion questions here..
