It sounds like your husband could have sleep apnea. It is a condition in which caused by blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and closes during sleep. With each apnea event, the brain briefly arouses people with sleep apnea in order for them to resume breathing, but consequently sleep is extremely fragmented and of poor quality.
Your husband should definitely should go to a sleep clinic and get checked out. My husband has apnea and sleeps with a pressurized air machine and he said the quality of his sleep improved 100%.
