Feel horrible- snoring

Boyfriend's snoring has become awful recently, he isn't overweight nor does he drink a lot.
It was very loud and kept me awake and i'd find myself tutting and sighing. We don't have a spare room either. I'd listen to relaxing podcasts but could still hear the snoring over it.
He heard me tutting and made reference to it several times. I told him i was sorry and that it was just frustrating being woken up but that I didn't blame him and it wasn't his fault.
One night I had been sleep deprived for the last 4/5 nights and sounds dramatic but ended up breaking down in tears to him.
He seemed really guilty and went to the pharmacy the next day.
I ended up getting some earplugs that work amazingly, and his snoring is also much better than it used to be.
I've told him several times that it's not his fault, but he's told a couple of people about me crying and tutting and I wonder if I was being too harsh.

I have lived like this for 30+ years, no pushing or rolling or tutting will change him, he stops for about 10 seconds then off he goes again.
I hated earplugs as had to have an ear open for babies etc
I have never found any that I can wear all night, (hot, itchy)
P gets snarky if I move to another room & will even burst in "looking for me" & then wakes me up...
he says it's not his fault, but its not my fault either & physically, I need my rest as much as him.
He has had a CPAP machine now for about a year.. a definite improvement, but is still lazy & agressive when asked to fit it properly as it blows like a gale when in the wrong position, (& stops me sleeping)
Don't bother telling me, He is a selfish.
Your partner is being passive agressive re mentioning it to others
I would say, "too bloody right, I cannot sleep, sleep deprivation is used as torture technique, it's not a joke, it's not funny. it is debilitating & I am not sure I can survive it."

He may find a mouth guard, nasal strips or nasal dilator helps his snoring, depending on what is causing it. DP snored badly for years, he saw a doctor and it turns out he has a deviated septum. I bought him a nasal dilator and nasal strips and now he doesn't snore.
