For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter with the exact same group of people (other than for last winter). A few of them are rather loud snorers. In truth, the loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was discussing this the other day when my child asked, “whats snoring?” My best explanation for my four-year-old was “its a noise that some people make when theyre sleeping.” A 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 causes it, why it causes snoring, and some methods to treat sleep apnea. See the complete video lesson here and find the accompanying conversation questions here..
