Snoring and sleep apnea

I ran across the comment, if you snore, get tested for sleep apnea. Now. My sweetie, who is not in the least overweight, snores quite a bit, and has been getting louder over the years. He doesn't have many apnea risk factors (in fact, just [1] one family member, his nephew, who has had apnea surgery and [2] the worried wife), but his chest moves in odd, possibly not breathing, ways before really loud snores. Add in my insomnia (and inso-mom-nia: waking whenever I hear my child make a nighttime peep), and I do not look forward to bedtime when my nightly struggle to sleep begins.
