Carefully: And with knowledge. Snoring may be an initial sign of a greater, life-threatening problem. She needs to see her physician and will most likely need a take home sleep test or one done at a facility. There are benefits to each type, talk to your md. If its just snoring or mild sleep apnea, a special mouth guard may help, made by a dentist.

Snoring: Do you have the ability to make a recording of her snoring? Either way, inform her that you have read that snoring can be a sign of a problem with getting enough oxygen while sleeping and that this could lead to a stroke, heart attack, or high blood pressure. Because you love her, and want her to be around for a long time, "please have this checked".
