For nearly twenty years Ive gone to
an ice fishing camp every winter season with the same group of guys (other than for last winter season). Some of them are rather loud snorers. In fact, the loud snorers have their own bunk space in the lodge. I was speaking 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 description is found in a TED-Ed lesson entitled
Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly?.

Why Do Some People Snore So Loudly? describes what sleep apnea is, what triggers it, why it triggers snoring, and some methods to deal with sleep apnea. View the complete video lesson here and find the accompanying discussion questions here..
