Almost everybody snores. I'll bet you do too, only you don't hear it.... you're asleep.

That brings back memories. Twenty years ago I toured Southern Ireland. I stayed in a hostel where an enormous German - and I mean bloody enormous, kept the whole of the men's dorm awake. I picked up my mattress and slept in the common room. It makes me chuckle now but sure as hell didn't then.

Ear plugs again.
Maybe listen to music on headphones to lull you to sleep (never works for me, just end up awake for hours listening to the music).
A pillow. Place over their head. Wait for snoring to stop. Leave really early in the morning before anyone else wakes up. Best to sign in under a fake name with that one.
Hit them until they wake up. Hope you get to sleep before them.
Lace their coffee with a bit of extra caffeine. If they can't sleep they can't snore.
Grow your hair. Shave before you go to the hostel. Try to get a bunk in the girls dorm.
Comb your hair, shave and wash. Try to get invited to a bunk in the girls dorm.
Carry the snorer's bed into the corridoor/street/rooftop/nearby canal. You'll need help with this (shouldn't be a problem tho - even his mates'll help you get the bugger out).

Wish I'd thought of this one in Trondheim in '95...

I couldn't imagine sleeping in a dorm without earplugs.

Taking a moment's reflection, nobody760 mused: That brings back memories. Twenty years ago I toured Southern Ireland. I stayed in a hostel where an enormous German - and I mean bloody enormous, kept the whole of the men's dorm awake. I picked up my mattress and slept in the common room. It makes me chuckle now but sure as hell didn't then.
Reminds me of staying in a hostel in Dublin during, what I dubbed, the 24 Hours of Noise Festival ... I was down in the Temple Bar area staying at Barnacles. It was bad enough that this was the night that they rolled the empty Guinness kegs down the brick road, but we had a snorer as well.
Likely as big as your German was, this Argentinean was small. But, lord, could he belt out a snore. At that point it had become so obnoxious, I began chuckling to myself. A moment later, I could hear the lass (co-ed) in the bunk below chuckling as well. So, we decided to go tap into my whisky flask instead of lying there in futility.

Wake him up and kiss him goodnight. He should lie awake worrying, allowing you a good night's sleep.

DUH! I never go to a hostel without earplugs. These guys still rocked the room...through the earplugs.
