Is the onset of snoring a reliable indicator that one is entering a particular sleep state?

Assuming no instance of severe sleep apnea (they could awake several times if this were the case), can I assume that they will enter REM sleep about 90 minutes following the first signs of snoring?

Snoring only indicates that something is partially blocking the airway. It does not indicate a sleep state.

Not really. My husband starts to snore as soon as his head hits the pillow

not at all. usually snoring occures due to improper digestion or physically or mentally tiredness.
