He has a CPAP machine, which has helped tremendously. We were gifted it and it's been a godsend because the volume of his snoring has led to me threatening to stab him with a fork in the middle of the night (and, at that particular moment of stressed sleep deprivation) being completely serious.
He has taken steps to better his health and that has helped his snoring and sleep apnea somewhat. Enough for him to not need to use the machine every night, so that's a very good thing.
Good luck with your results.

My sister had sleep apnea. She had an operation that trimmed down her uvula and trimmed the opening to her throat and she hasn't had a bad nights sleep since, nor does she snore like a freight train anymore or fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Don't know if that would solve everyone's troubles, but it couldn't hurt to check it out.
