<p>Here's a possibe solution: get a humidifier. A small one gallon humidifier only costs about $30-40 and might be the answer to the snoring problem. Dorms are so very dry and that can cause snoring (do you wake up with a dry, sore throat or coughing?). If you can get the humidity up to a reasonable level, you might be alot more comfortable (and quieter!)</p>
<p>i have the same problem.....this works perfectly:</p>
<ol>
<li>learn to tolerate it
if you can't...</li>
<li>buy the sound machine
or even better and cheaper in my opinion</li>
<li>listen to your walkman or ipod!! i can sleep so peacefully at night, and with the special type of headphones, you can sleep comfortably in any position!</li>
</ol>
<p>tell him to sleep on his side. thats what my roommate told me to do during my second year of camp (eighth grade). it really works too.</p>
<p>My roommate tried this device called Nozovent, a small plastic thing to insert in the nostril while sleeping and it works for her (and me too). I believe you can search for it on the web.</p>
