For some reason I attract heavy sleeping, loud snoring guys. Just about every guy I have been with is both a heavy sleeper and a loud snorer. As hard as I try, I can't wake them up. Both my roommate and my boyfriend rock the house when they sleep. It's terrible. I can actually sit my boyfriend up in bed and not wake him up. And I hate it when they do one of those loud gasping snores. Do you know what I mean? Then they wiggle around a little bit, and the whole snoring process starts all over again. I'll lay there and bend my pillow over my head to block out the noise and I can still hear it. I've had to go downstairs and sleep on the couch because of it. It's awful! 
I know they can't help it, but GEEZ!!!! 
Are they smokers, David? When my country boyf is visiting Sydney, or when I'm visiting him in the country, I always have a great deal of trouble sleeping because of his deafening snoring. I have been known to insert earplugs, which doesn't exactly make for a romantic ambience!
But then again, nor does his snoring.
And as in your situation, he is also a very deep sleeper. And a thrasher, too! It's a wonder I haven't woken up with a black eye on some occasions.
I've copped those bony elbows of his in my face on more than one occasion! He's a smoker and I thought that may have had something to do with his snoring.
I'm told that I don't snore.
