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 talking 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 individuals 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? explains what sleep apnea is, what triggers it, why it causes snoring, and some ways to deal with sleep apnea. View the complete video lesson here and discover the accompanying discussion questions here..
