The sleep disorder you might not know you have - Alayna Vaughan

Dig into the science of what causes snoring, and how chronic snoring can be a sign of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea.--A leather mask that clamps the mouth shut. A cannonball sewn into a soldier’s uniform. A machine that delivers sudden electrical pulses. These were all treatments for a problem that has haunted humanity for millennia: snoring. It might seem harmless, but snoring can be a sign of something more dangerous. So, what exactly causes snoring? Alayna Vaughan digs into the troublesome sleep disorder.Lesson by Alayna Vaughan, directed by Rémi Cans, Boniato Studio.Image Credits:BruceBlausCarl Holderness, GBColourcreatype, IDGabriella Rey, COPalukx, THRice UniversitySarahkaybSarah MarshTony Gines, USWuppdiduSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-do-some-people-snore-so-loudly-alayna-vaughanDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-do-some-people-snore-so-loudly-alayna-vaughan#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.boniato.studio----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
