Actually I know of people who have had heart attacks due to it. I would suggest that you get serious with your boyfriend about it, and get him to go to a doctor about it. He needs to go to a sleep center to get tested. They hook him up over night and check to see how many times he wakes up at night. If it's bad enough they will rig him up with a sleeping mask which will push the air through his nose when he sleeps, stopping the snoring and allowing you to sleep. Of course most men fight the idea of wearing the damn masks as they aren't very comfortable, and who wants to go to bed looking like Hannibal Lechter. There are also some operations, but they are quite invasive and don't always work. I don't recommend them. Sleep apnea is not something to laugh about, it can be very serious.
