he should go for a sleep study, loud snoring is a strong indicator of obstructive sleep apnea, and that is related to things like diabetes and heart disease.

Ouch. I know what you mean, there's been many a time when my sleep has been interrupted by an elbow from my wife and a less than polite request for me to stop snoring!! There's a few things you can try that might help a bit such as cutting out alcohol in the evenings, sleeping on your side, buying some snore strips to help with breathing or using some of that Vic ks stuff that people rub on for colds (apparently I'm not so bad when I put a bit of that under my nose before bed). All the possible solutions I have seen have only taken the edge of it a bit though and not cut it out altogether. The best way we found was for my wife to go to bed first and get a head start on sleep!

There are special pillows and head supports or things to prevent you from sleeping on your back.
There are also throat sprays and other techniques you can try.
It is important to understand what is causing your specific snoring in order to understand how to cure it.

Always sleep on your side. When you sleep on your back, the relaxed tongue can fall back and partly block the air passage. In this situation, just a change of sleeping position will sort the problem.

I snore too and sometimes hear myself right before I dose off. I use breathe right strips and a nasal fluid made especially for people who snore, and it does the job!

Losing weight can help but if you arent overweight - dont.
A tennis ball sewn into your sleep shirt can help as it prevents you rolling onto your back which exacerbates snoring.
Also those nose patches like bandaids - they can open up your sinuses to help you breath more clearly.
Thats my best hope it helps :)
