Wife has sleep apnea. They gave her a CPAP, but she just couldn't get used to it. She'd get a couple hours of sleep then wake up with a migraine. I finally convinced her to get a dental appliance, which did help. Occasionally she'd get jaw pain from using it though. Within the last year or so, she started exercising more and has lost, I think, about 20 or 30 pounds. She hardly uses the appliance anymore, but her snoring has definitely decreased. It's not as loud as before and usually only wakes me once or twice a night instead of the several times it used to.
Her father is fairly skinny and he snores like a freight train. But his insurance won't pay to get a sleep test. Her mom says he does the gasping in his sleep too. I don't see him being willing to use a CPAP though.
