For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter with the exact same group of men (except for last winter season). A few of them are rather loud snorers. The loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was discussing this recently when my daughter asked, “whats snoring?” My best explanation for my four-year-old was “its a noise that some people make when theyre sleeping.” A much better explanation is discovered in a TED-Ed lesson titled
