<p>I use those earplugs that interesteddad suggested and I bought the box of 200 pairs. They drown out the sound of my H’s incessant snoring pretty well - well enough that I can’t hear the alarm clock if it goes off. There is a trick to putting them in right. You have to roll one between your thumb and forefinger until it’s skinny then stick it in your ear at the right angle. If you’ve done it right, you hear it unrolling. Takes some getting used to but they’re great. Oh, and ironically, we also sleep with a white noise maker from the now defunct Sharper Image but I can’t hear it!</p>
