Brief Answer:
Sleep study
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Sleep disturbances in the elderly are a common issue. It's natural to lose a few hours of sleep when one ages. But if there are any breathing disturbances or snoring , they can interfere with sleep.
If you notice that your uncle snores alot, it would be a good idea to get a sleep study done.
There are many clinics in every major metro that will do the study.
