Snoring on flight in business class

I have never flown business class so am curious as to what happens if someone snores loudly on a night flight so other people cannot sleep?
If I had paid thousands for a flight I wouldn't be happy for someone to be snoring loudly.
But if I was a loud snorer it's not like I could stop unless forceably kept awake.

How does this work? Looking for answers from flight crew or business class regulars....

I never sleep on planes due to the loud engine noise anyway, I like watching the little plane on the map, I particularly enjoy long haul to the USA west coast and the place names in Greenland and northern Canada. Honestly snoring is the least annoying sounds - drunk stag dos are worse

Is shaking someone awake every time they fall asleep perfectly acceptable?

Absolutely it is if they’re selfishly keeping others awake.

@Sunriseinwonderland hope you have taken some reassurance from this thread that it's generally considered ok to snore, even in business class 😆

I just can't do it I'll ne er fly business class again 😂

Planes are loud so you would be unlucky to hear it. Plus you get noise cancelling headphones which I wear all trip. Had one trip in the top of a 747 cabin, guy next to me had a ppap machine, midly annoying but soon ignored it.
