What’s Snoring? – Another Question from my Daughters

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