Snoring is what happens when a person is struggling to breath while sleeping.  Your husband should have a sleep study done.

My husband snored bad and I used to think it was just normal for some people, especially overweight people.  But I became concerned when he would actually stop breathing and then gasp for air with a loud snorting sound.  That's when I made him see and doctor because I was scared every time he stopped breathing.

His doctor sent him to a sleep specialist, they did a sleep study and they found that he would actually stop breathing almost 60 times every hour.  That's EVERY MINUTE.  So he was hardly any sleep at all.  They gave him a CPAP to use at night and it made all the difference in the world.  No more snoring and he was like a different man.  More energy and happier.

I think he should talk to his doctor about this.

there are anti-snoring mouthpieces sold on the internet as well as getting his dentist to make one. But because snoring is often a sign of sleep apnea, you may want to get your husband to get a sleep study. If he has obstructive sleep apnea, this needs to be treated because it can lead to many health problems.
