DH stays up a lot later than me.
I go to bed about 11pm (and would prefer to go earlier but he gets grumpy saying he 'wants to spend time with me' so I stay up later)
He goes to bed about 2am - 3am. He's a gamer.
This is fair enough, except he is always moaning he is tired in the mornings which annoys me, because to me if you are tired you go to bed earlier.
The thing that really annoys me, is when he does come to bed he makes NO attempt whatsoever to not wake me up.
His PC is in the loft extension directly above our bedroom. He thunders down the stairs (pissed generally).
He flings the bedroom door wide open, and as we have the landing light on for DS, light streams into the bedroom which wakes me up. He never shuts it either, so I have to tell him to (hissed in fury normally, which then makes him arsey in return)
He flings his clothes off and flops in to bed. He is then asleep before his head hits the pillow
AND he then proceeds to snore and make noises like a dying walrus for the rest of the night (not helped by the drinking)
He knows I am an incredibly light sleeper and I cannot get back to sleep once he has woken me up becuase of his snoring. Last night I was nudging him every 5 minutes to shutthefuckup (nudging may have got progressively harder as the night / morning wore on)
I'll be turning the spare room (currently a box room) into a spare bedroom soon as his DM is coming for Christmas. Once I've got a bed in there, I am thinking either that will become my room and we will have separate bedrooms OR I will say, if it's later than midnight he sleeps in there
AIBU?
AIBU?
To be angry with DH waking me up

You need your own bedroom.. I have one and it's just the way I want it 
or knock one up for him when he has a late night.
Tell him from now on you'll be going to bed when you want seeing as he's an inconsiderate git when coming to bed you need more sleep before hand.
Sort that room out today.. everybody should have their own bedroom to escape too.
This morning, I couldn't give a monkeys toss about his feelings
I've been up with DS since 7am whilst he is snoring soundly in bed.
Strangely I've been encouraging DS to play with his noisiest toys and we've been having something of a sing-song
Fecker 
Why on earth should YOU move into the box room when HE is being an asshole? Think about that for a minute. I'm sorry to hear things haven't really improved 
Ah they have improved a lot dreaming - honestly 
He's working 2 days a week, at college 2 days a week, looking after DS 1 day a week and pulling his weight with housework
If I can just crack the sleeping thing we'll be good
I'll take the room with the best bed ;)
He's managing it, but he's always moaning about how tired he is 
. No shit DH!
It's not every night - maybe 2 or 3 a week, but it's still a PITA. I need sleep!
I'll give him the box room. Promise ;)
Put a bed in the teenagers room gaming room. And a mini fridge for his beers.
He gets grumpy with you going to bed when you want?
He sounds like a real keeper there OP. 
Or basically, yanbu, he sounds like a child.
Mine's not a gamer but a pissed late night telly watcher - and has been forever. I've had my own bedroom for ages and it's the only reason I haven't murdered him! There's always a but though - and mine is that my lovely bedroom is opposite the bathroom - his last port of call as he winds and stumbles his way to bed at 2am - where he proceeds to piss like a fucking horse with the light on and the door open . Yes, I could shut my door but it's a long complicated story about dogs!
