Pad him with pillows so he can't roll over. If he does end up on his back, poke him hard with an elbow to roll over. On a more serious note, if the snoring is very loud and there are pauses between bouts of snoring, he may have sleep apnea, a condition in with he may temporarily stop breathing. If this is the case, he needs to sleep with a machine that will force oxygen into his lungs when he stops breathing in and out - otherwise, the "pause" can take too long before he can inhale air again. If you suspect sleep apnea, or simply can't live with his snoring as it is, he should get to a doctor who may refer him to a specialist. If he doesn't have sleep apnea, a sinus problem may still be interfering with his sleep. Does he still seem tired even after keeping you up all night with his snoring? He probably needs help to get something corrected. Neither of you have to live with this

you can get him to wear breathe right strips for snoring before he falls asleep, or turn him on his side, this will stop his snoring, or go to another room of the house i.e. the living room and sleep on the couch good luck to you

try the sleep right strips they are at the druggists or have him take a sinus drying pill like a antihistamine , sometimes its caused by a fleshy covering inside the throat that covers the sinus openings its larger than need be and they can trim it with a lazer so see if he wants that done ,, an olde dude ,, my wife sounds like a buzzsaw

Do you know why he snores? Tiredness? Sleeping disorder?
Or maybe he's using too many pillows. Get his head lower/almost aligned with his neck and back bone.

first of all -- the poor guy might have sleep apneia (spelling?). Start by seeing a doctor -- there are remedies.
Second, he needs to sleep on his side. You can also get these strips that you put on the bridge of your nose that help.

When he snores, tap him and ask him to turn the other side.
