Hey there!
Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko!
This is the show where I answer your questions about your world and my world!
These first couple of questions are all about sleep!
Wow, you guys really like sleep videos huh?
First question up!
Dylan asks Dear Blocko,
Why do we snore?
Is there a bigger issue?
Well, it’s quite simple really.
People snore when they are having a really boring dream.
Or when I’m doing my stand-up routine.
See!
Lights out!
But for real, Mayoclinic defines snoring as "the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when
air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe.
people can snore due to a variety of reasons.
Allergies or a cold might do it, as well as alcohol consumption or sleep deprivation.
A person's weight could also play a factor.
Even just the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses could play a part!
No matter the puzzle pieces that add up to a person snoring, it could be a sign of a
bigger issue known as obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.
Now, not every snorer has this condition, even if their snoring is chronic, but OSA
can be a serious condition that should be addressed by a medical professional.
and now on to question 2! Simie asks
How Can some People fall asleep anywhere!?
Well, from a medical perspective, it sounds like you’re referring to narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder where people have overwhelming daytime drowsiness, leading
to them to fall asleep anywhere, at any time, during any activity.
There isn’t a cure yet for Narcolepsy, but treatments like certain medications and lifestyle
changes can help with the symptoms.
But, maybe you’re just talking about people who seem to be able to treat any surface as
a comfy bed.
It might just be that that person has suffered from over exhaustion.
They might be really really tired.
I'm pretty sure that's why most parents can sleep almost anywhere.
Any now it’s time for questions about my world!
Pig Master 101 asks
#DearAnimator where is Blocko’s secret stash of waffles?
Hey!
This is Dear Blocko!
You got the wrong show.
Wait a minute…
Animator, don’t you dare show them my hiding spot!
Don’t you try and rainbow swipe to another scene!
You can’t have any waffles.
They’re for the gnomes.
Do not tell anyone they live here okay?
I trust ya!
Second question up,
Batz Games asks #DearBlocko
Do you think that Rhombus is fully healed yet?
Yeah, Rhombus is actually fully healed!
After he got over his glitch monster infection, he had a new lease on life!
He’s been wearing leather jackets, learning new skills, and he finally finished his perfect
chicken nugget recipe!
He’s pretty much killin it!
Rhombus are you wearing 17 leather jackets?
Dang.
That’s so cool!

Some people even claim to have gone off the grid, at least to some extent.
One option is to build a tiny home off the grid, WITHOUT public power, water, natural
gas, or telephone lines.
As always, my name is Blocko, this has been Life noggin, don’t forget to keep on thinking!
