Is he willing to work with you? Because this absolutely works to keep snorers off their backs, and costs almost nothing:

these are the absolute best things to ever happen to me:

CVS Ultra-Soft Silicone Earplugs Antimicrobial Protection - CVS.com

my boyfriend snores so i feel your pain. these take some getting used to but once you're used to them you will never go back to earplug-less ears lol. i now even use them when i sleep alone because they block out everything.

good luck !

Thanks, I'll have to give these a shot. Right now I use Wal-mart's brand (the purple coloured ones); they do quite well just noises still get in. I imagine for the op though, they would work unless his or her brother's sleeping in the same room (my husband snores so I use them most every night and it usually works for that--the snoring is muffled enough so that I can fall asleep).

Don't use the foam ones - the wax ones that mold to the shape of your ear (mainly for swimmers) have always been my go-to.

I thought that's what they were. The only drawback of the waxy type ones is that I once had a dream a sexy man was feeding me grapes, and I ended up trying to eat one of the earplugs. I'm not kidding. That was a rude awakening!

How does someone use ear plugs, then wake up to their alarm clock? I realize some don't need an alarm clock... but if you do, how would that work?
