What’s Snoring? – Another Question from my Daughters

For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter with the same group of men (other than for last winter season). A few of them are rather loud snorers. The loud snorers have their own bunk room in the lodge. I was speaking about this the other day when my child asked, “whats snoring?” My finest description for my four-year-old was “its a noise that some individuals make when theyre sleeping.” A better description is found 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 causes it, why it triggers snoring, and some ways to deal with sleep apnea. See the full video lesson here and find the accompanying discussion questions here..
