DDad constant snoring keeping me awake

I'm in my late twenties and have recently moved back in with my parents temporarily to save money for a house deposit. My partner and I intend to buy a house in about 6 months. I work full-time and pay them an agreed amount of rent. I am of course extremely grateful that they have agreed for me to stay and everything is all good so far apart from how tired I have become on a daily basis due to my Dads snoring. It is like a foghorn and the walls are paper thin, you can hear it all over the house. This is starting to affect my concentration at work as I am a light sleeper. I have tried earplugs which have only helped slightly due to how loud it is. I don't understand how my DM has tolerated it for so long but I know that she is usually awake at 3am as I can hear her pottering around. I can only assume that she has become accustomed to it over the years. He seems to do nothing at all about this snoring problem and will have a glass of wine in the evenings. I suggested to my DM that perhaps he goes to the GP about this and she said it would be silly to go to the doctor about something like snoring in Covid times. AIBU to bring it up with them and ask him to perhaps do something about it? I know that I'm under their roof and they've very kindly had me back but I'm struggling with being constantly tired...

I'm sorry but as tough as that sounds you really can't ask for your dad to seek medical treatment on the basis that you're inconvenienced.

If you don't like it you can move out or buy better earplugs, try white noise while you sleep etc. Perhaps you could have carefully brought it up on the grounds of being concerned about his health but not because it's too loud for you.

Shut the door and wear earplugs! Yes he probably should go to the gp to be check out but some ppl just snore. My husband snores and I wear earplugs. You just get use to it.

YANBU he could have Sleep Apnoea which is a risk to his health so maybe a trip to the GP is a good idea. Hugs OP Flowers

Try different earplugs, there's a huge variation in how much noise different types block.
