May be sleep apnea: Have your friend check the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Sleep tests can be performed in a sleep lab or with ambulatory sleep monitors which measure oxygen level, respiratory effort and nasal airflow. If her airflow is decreased or is blocked by throat closure more than 5 times an hour, it may be sleep apnea and can be treated with CPAP - continuous positive airway pressure.

Probably does: Snoring and restless sleep are signs of sleep apnea. Your friend may want to visit his md and be evaluated. A sleep study may be recommended.
