What’s Snoring? – Another Question from my Daughters

For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the exact same group of guys (other than for last winter). Some of them are rather loud snorers. In fact, 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 description for my four-year-old was “its a noise that some people make when theyre sleeping.” A better explanation is discovered in a TED-Ed lesson titled
Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly?.

Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly? explains what sleep apnea is, what causes it, why it causes snoring, and some ways to deal with sleep apnea. Enjoy the full video lesson here and discover the accompanying discussion questions here..
