wife or husband??? or boss???
If a stranger, then I agree earplugs are the first line of defense if you need one. An "accidental" nudge might be appropriate if things are really bad. There are worse problems.

What's wrong with tapping them on the shoulder and saying, "I'm so sorry to bother you but you're snoring."
Of course, after I did that once and they apologized... 15 minutes later they were snoring again and I didn't have the nerve to wake them again.
And actually, since I have been using earplugs sleeping or not, I don't think I have heard a snorer! (I read that earplugs decrease flight fatigue.. keeping out the constant hum and noises.. so now use them 100% of the time -0 ven when watching IFE.)

Anyone who is a snorer or partner of a snorer knows that snoring is rarely an easy problem to solve. I know of no snorers who saw wood intentionally.
However, if you know that you do snore, you can do the following to minimize the extent of your snoring:
However, if you know that you do snore, you can do the following to minimize the extent of your snoring:
- Do drink plenty of water. The more hydrated you are and the moister your throat area, the less you are likely to snore loudly.
- Do not drink any alcohol. Alcohol dehydrates you, and you will snore more often and more loudly after drinking. Yes, I know. But think of it as a fair trade: you're still likely to snore some, so you pay a small price, and your cabinmates pay a small price.
