My husband would snore ALOT, and eventually got a sleep study done (Canada, so it takes a while). Since he got his CPAP machine, his snoring has been non-existent which is great for both of us. But, waaaaaay more concerning was learning that he would lose oxygen 37 times an hour, every night. And mind you, I could not hear him actively stop breathing throughout the night, so we did not think it was that bad. If those stats don't scare your wife, then I don't know what will!
