Stop Snoring Remedies

Question by apple picking™: What is something I can do to stop my roommate from snoring?
I don’t sleep that much, but when I’m awake I hear his snoring and it pisses me off. I want to take a baseball bat to his loft and wake him up, but I don’t want to break his bed [i'm really not that angry].
So what do I do [other than leave the room]?
Like it’s ok when people snore, but his snoring is ridiculous, it almost sounds unhealthy.

I recently bought a house and my former roommates moved in. One is totally incompetent and is finishing a Masters degree. He was supposed to finish next month but when I asked when he was finishing a few days ago, he said he needs more time. I arranged to have another friend move in as soon as he left. I made these arrangements many months ago.

We have not signed a lease. But he agreed verbally that he would finish and move out at the end of next month. What’s my responsibility with this guy? I don’t want to be a bad friend, but the alternative to kicking him out is to inconvenience another friend and leave me without a roommate when he leaves, or give up my living room. I don’t mind if he’s here an extra week or two but he wants something on the order of months.

I’m also worried that he’ll over stay his welcome. I’ve moved with him twice and he did absolutely nothing to help. I basically moved his stuff for him. I can imagine that he’ll not take his eviction seriously and simply hang around.

I’ve really had my fill with this guy. Here are a list of qualities I can do without in a roommate:
he’s socially inept
we have nothing in common
he is incapable of making adult decisions
he smells bad
his room smells bad
the washroom smells bad after he uses it
he ignores polite requires to remedy the smell
he claims to not know how to clean/do chores
he demands detailed instructions for any task/chore and preforms the task poorly
he breaks things
he can’t be trusted to do important things
he mooches food
he snores while awake

I’ve lived with my roommate for several months now, and her snoring is becoming unbearable. She is a friend but we are still getting to know each other, and I’m afraid to bring it up to her. When I fall asleep before her, it isn’t usually a problem because I can sleep through it, but anymore she’s been going to bed before me and I can’t manage to fall asleep anymore. We live in a house with several other girls, so I can just move to a couch if necessary, but I think it’s unfair for me to always have to move. How can I gently approach her with the topic and what are some noninvasive remedies? Thanks!

My roommate snores, and it’s very annoying. Her snoring isn’t always regular either, sometimes it get’s VERY loud all of a sudden like a “CAH” sound, as if she’s hacking something up or gasping for air. (I asked her if she had sleep apnea, but she doesn’t know.) Are there any remedies or products that can help her snoring? Do those snore sprays or mouth washes work? I don’t think the nasal strips would work because she said she doesn’t breathe through her nose. (I think she consciously can, but not when she’s asleep.) For a while I made her sleep with an extra pillow to keep her head higher, and it worked a little.

Help! It bothers me so much I want to throw things at her!

She knows she snores and once she is asleep she is impossible to wake up.. i’ve tried shaking her, yelling her name, even hitting her with a pillow I don’t want to be rude about it, but I end up sleeping on the couch almost every night!! How can I solve this problem without offending her!?
