And snoring aside, what annoyance can give you someone who sleeps on an armchair or a sofa (feet down of course)?

According to BA, "Our customers have told us that they are happy to hear snoring fellow-customers, as it proves they are relaxed and, more importantly, alive."

Thats where most of my issue is. If you're in an armchair and drift off then thats not so much of an issue.

I have to admit I can't stand people who have decided to commandeer an entire sofa to sleep on. Drives me mad.

I can't tolerate most earplugs either, can't even tolerate ear buds for listening. I seriously have to travel with monster Bose over the ear headphones.

Can you not just tap him and say "hey man, you're snoring, can you please change positions" or something?
The lengths people go to avoid conversation is insane

Solution is what they have in the Iberia lounges in Madrid. Darkened relaxation rooms with chaise longue style personal sofas and complimentary eyeshades and ear plugs, and a partition separating each of them for an element of privacy. I use them regularly on early flights connecting there from Valencia and really love them. I've never had a problem getting one either.

In the inhumanity of people is astonishing. I guess you wake your grandpa up on Sunday afternoons when he starts napping in his chair as well. If people want to sleep in the lounge they have as much of a right to as you do to be awake. As for snoring its no worse a crime than talking, munching on food loudly or kids running around. All of which are acceptable. I'd love to see how people lived if you took their sense of entitlement away.

Haha - joking aside he just needs to roll onto his side to stop snoring. OP - perhaps you and few others can assist him?

It's a lounge, not a hotel. If you need to sleep, go somewhere that is designed for this purpose.
