Frequent bloody noses - why?

I have a question - how 'normal' is it to get bloody noses?

My husband get one about once or twice a week and sometimes when he is sleeping - because I often see drops of blood on his pillow case. Our home is well ventilated and we have a central humidifier that works well.

Any ideas or thoughts?
