NO. YOU DON'T WAKE THEM UP! In the future you should take earplugs and/or headphones to minimize the noise.

Although snorers always deny they actually snore.
Its not there choice to snore, its not optional and they don't do this to purposefully annoy you. I think its selfish to wake someone else up so you can be a tad more comfortable, if anyone woke me up i would be annoyed at them and then go right back to sleep.
Thants just my view on it.
