Snore no more

They make mouthpieces that are marketed as anti-snoring devices. I have no idea how they work or the discomfort of trying to sleep with such. Google provided this link as an example. Perhaps elevating the head of the snoring culprit as an alternative. My wife complains of my snoring and I of her's. After 47 years of marriage, it's not proved to be a deal breaker.
i have sleep apnea and i use a cpap machine for it. i can say that i do not snore anymore and i have been having the best sleep i have ever i had since i started using the machine 3 years ago. the mask just goes over my nose and is quite comfortable. i have the ResMed Sense 10 and i swear by it.
Two of my frequent guests at the cabin use a cpap and love it. I don't know if they have snoring problems but they sure enjoy the tech and boast of sleeping great.
on a side note, those mouthpieces do not work. i think they are a scam.......at least for me, i tried a few and they did absolutely nothing.....its a waste of money ( well at least my money).
if you have insurance i would check out a sleep center. they will have you stay in one of their sleep over rooms. they are nice. they let you sleep on a really comfortable sleep number bed. the only thing for me, is that i have trouble sleeping that night i went in. it is mostly because i was anxious and i had all these wires hooked up to me. i felt like i was more in a lab then in a bed (despite how comfortable the bed was). they determined that i have a slight case of sleep apnea and that a cpap machine was the best course of action.
i have tried everything from head wraps to mouth pieces to no avail. i think those things are crap and do not work for me. i guess maybe for others, but i have my doubts.

I know of nobody that's tried the mouth pieces so I have no opinion. On the cpap subject, another cabin guest was intrigued by the other two bragging up their experience and scheduled a test for himself. He later reported he could not take being wired up and gave up the test in the middle of the night and went home. 
I would definitely struggle with the test for I sleep on my stomach and have never been able to sleep on my back.

Those over your nose strips don't work.
They just changed the pitch in my case.

Have him ask his doctor to order a sleep study. Insurance should pay for it. Sleep study will indicate need for CPAP or not, then doctor prescribes and insurance pays for rental of machine. After 13 months renting paid for by Medicare, I will own mine outright, not bad for a device that can run north of $1800. I have my periods of good sleep and I have my problems using the machine. Sinus problems do not make for an easy experience. Disgusted because, if doctors had dealt with this years or even decades ago for me, my present condition (to include first MI) could have been avoided, or so they say.
My snoring has been described as a freight train passing close by and recorded through walls much to my embarrassment.
No sleep apnea though. So I got that...
