What about sleeping with your head on his chest, as some guys suggested?
In this position his head will be distant enough not to breathe/snore into
your ear or any other part of your body.  And if you are lying on top,
not you, but he will be the one who can barely move.
(BTW, are there any couples who like it the other way round, with his head
on her chest, and maybe a nipple in his mouth?  ;-)
If he still holds you too tight, kick him until he sets you free! Just be
a bit reckless when your sleep is at stake. (**Ouch**, I can already feel
you trampling me... ;-)
Do you wake up every time he moves?  Relax and try to enjoy each stimulation
you get by his movements!
Probably most of us need some time to get used to this, because in our
"civilized" world it is normal to spend every night alone in bed during
your childhood.
Have fun trying!

Wow!!!  At least one woman seems to be compatible with me.
Tell me when you leave your current SO ...  :-)
