Answers:
Sleep Apnea is the most dangerous cause of this problem. It can lead to lung and heart problems (hypertension and heart attacks). Also, car accidents while dozing off at the wheel. It is diagnosed with a 2 part sleep study. The first to prove it occurs. The second to prove that a CPAP machine reverses it. Very expensive but worth it. Sometimes weight reduction; sleeping on your side; or nasal/tonsil surgery can help. Most often it is due to being overweight.

Other Answers:
he probobly sleeps so much because he is older and snores because if you tend to lay on your back it is harder to breath which causes you to snore.

there is some disorder that causes one to excessively sleep. snoring during sleep sometimes impedes breathing and awakens the person during his sleep. this is not good at all.
