Maybe you should have him try those nose strip thingys? Hold on, I'm gonna Google...oh, okay, Breathe Right.
Give him a quick poke. I'm sure he'll understand. My FI talks in his sleep. Destracting them by almost waking them up tends to delay the activity (but not by much though).
So yeah, try the nose thingies that Krissycake suggested! Or see if he has the right pillow. Snoring is often caused by blocked airways and the person not sleeping in the right position/height or something like it.
As long as FI is on his side he doesn't snore so when he (occasionally) winds up on his back and the snoring wakes me up I give him a little push (very little!) and he rolls onto his side most of the time. Good luck!!!
my boyfriend sometimes snores SO LOUD it wakes me up. We've tried those strips and they work a little, but it ends up being pretty expensive if you use them every night. I usually fall asleep before him so if he wakes me up with snoring I usually brush his face or poke him like Lizaan said to get him to move so it stops. That usually works for a little while (until he rolls back to the position that makes him snore).
Good luck!
Yeah my husband snores a LOT when he gets sick. He takes LOTS of zicam or afrin to clear his sinuses for the night.
Sadly, i have a feeling that when he gets REAL sick, I'll banish him to the guest room so we both dont' end up with a really bad nights sleep. I have earplugs i may have to wear occassionally, as long as i set my alarm super loud =].
Snoring irritates the hell outta me! i can only handle it for so long. I don't sleep well as it is--i don't need a snorer compounding the effects =]
Maybe he should try some allergy meds or nasal decongestant at this time of year. That's good that it's only seasonal though, my dad snored a lot and he ended up going to the hospital for a sleep study because of it and the drs found out he had sleep apnea...now he has to sleep connected to a breathing machine.
Yes; usually I end up poking him or nudging him. It is worse when he lays on his back so he does have to stay on his side. I just have a feeling it's going to be some adjusting for us...!
It took a lot of adjusting for us too. Don't have any solutions to offer you, but just wanted to say that eventually you start to get used to it!
You'll get used to it... if you are still living apart, start trying to sleep with the tv on.. or a fan. Your body will get used to sleeping through the noise and you'll be able to sleep no problem with a snorer.
I use to date a snorer, it was like sleeping with a buzz saw, seriously. I don't think I ever slept soundly when I was with him. You do get use to it eventually, but those breath right strips are worth a try, they helped a lot whith my ex. I'm lucky that FI isn't a snorer but I feel ya.
I agree-- having some other type of noise in the room, such as a fan or the window open, or soft music, helps me focus on that, and not the ANNOYING snoring.
But I'm sick right now, and can barely breathe, so I am snoring too! He says he thinks it's cute. Ha!
FI snores and so does our DOG! So I go to sleep with FI on one side, and the dog snoring away in his dog bed on the other side. It drove me crazy at first, but now I am so used to it that when I am out of town, I have trouble sleeping without them! I guess it's like white noise to me. 
Snoring can be a sign of bigger problems, like sleep apnea, so he might want to get it checked out, just in case!
lol my Fi likes to say Hunh Hunh Hunh in his sleep its funny and annoying I usually just message his back or wake him gently and say are you trying to talk to me lol.
I've heard that you should sew something like a tennis ball to the back of the shirt he sleeps in so he will not be able to sleep on his back. I've never known anyone who has actually done this though...
You could give him a poke or a tap on his back. Or take a look at this article: http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Understanding+snoring+and+how+to+deal+with+it.html
Hope it gets better for you!
LOL, my mom told me the other day that when they first got married, she actually threw a towel on his face to quiet the sound.
Seriously though, my FI was a heavy snorer until he lost a lot of weight which probably decrease the amount of tissue obstruction. Sleeping on his side was really the only thing that helped stop the snoring.
Is your FI overweight? My FI had gained about 25lbs & he started snoring like crazy... since he's started losing the weight & he's a quiet sleeper again!
Snorers should sleep on their stomach, not on their back. haha there's a trick by sewing tennis balls into the back of a pajama shirt to train someone to sleep on their stomach...
My fiance snores...he got a wedge pillow that totally keeps him from snoring. Its like night and day...he can breathe so much better at night now.
I have the same situation as AnamCara, he snores when he's on his back, so I just nudge him until he rolls to his side. Good luck! Also try ear plugs. I did that until I figured out he snores on his back, and they are much cheaper than sleep strips for him!
Earplugs! There are different brands of earplugs - buy some different kinds and figure out which ones you like. I wish I could remember the brand of mine - they are orange and have their own little case. They save me whenever I'm around a snorer!
I keep a box of Breathe Right strips on my nightstand and pull one out whenever FI is snoring too loudly. They are $5 for a box of 30, which should last a month or so, so not too expensive...and they work better than the alternative (poking him every 3 minutes)!
Sadly, my honey suffers from what I call "the jiggles". It's not restless leg, it's his whole body. And he only does it when he's not getting a very restful sleep.
I kick the poor guy out of bed about three nights out of seven.
lol, I'm sick right now and I definitely snored all night last night (and the last three or four nights). And... I drooled on him. 
lol, he was being a sweetie and snuggling with me and I was breathing through my mouth... and I left a nice sized wet spot on his chest/shoulder. Oops.
So look on the bright side... At least he doesn't drool!

Okay so I've posted before that we are in the process of buying our first home. I stayed @ FI house last weekend & couldn't help but start to worry.... HOW AM I GOING TO SLEEP WITH THIS SNORER??? He doesn't always snore. Only really this time of year when the slight cold is coming on and he's kinda stuffed up or when he's REALLY tired & is basically blacked out in the deepest of sleep.
Question: How do you deal with sleeping with a snorer?? Is there anything that can be done to stop the snoring or any helpful tips to try???
I'm getting worried that all the excitment of getting ready to live togther is going to fade @ bed time; YIKES! What to do???
