My Hubby snores really bad during his sleep. It keeps the house up of a night some nights. Does anyone have any home remedies that may help him. I worry that he may be hurting himself internally at times. Any ideas????

You are wise to worry. Snoring is not a joke, and it's not just a nuisance.
Snoring is often a symptom of a serious disorder called sleep apnea. This can damage his heart and even kill him. There is no home remedy. He needs to go to a sleep clinic without delay - he should ask his doctor to refer him.
In most cases apnea can be 100% eliminated by the use of a night breathing machine called a CPAP. It might take a night or two to get used to it, but then he will not only not snore AT ALL anymore, he will feel much better during the day, too. And you will too, as snoring keeps you from sleeping, too.
Please do not delay in getting him to see a sleep specialist - it's very important! Contrary to what many people believe, you do NOT have to be overweight to have sleep apnea.

My husband snored really bad til he went and got checked for sleep apnea. They put him on a C-Pap machine now it is peaceful at night and he feels alot better in the morning.
