My roommate is frequently drunk and often passes out on our couch while I am trying to study for exams. What is an effective way to get them off the couch without causing any physical harm? 
I'm really frustrated with my roommate's behavior, he always comes home late at night and then just collapses onto the couch, leaving me no space to study. How can I get him off the couch without causing any physical harm?

A non-physical method of removing your roommate from the couch would be to create a comfortable, guest bedroom within your home that he could use as an alternative sleeping area. By providing him with his own space, you’d encourage him to spend more time there and reduce his presence in the shared space where you wish to study. Ultimately, it is important for both parties’ comfort and safety that some boundary setting occurs around how much of their own individual needs can reasonably be accommodated within one living space.

One option is to try and talk to your roommate about the problem and come up with a compromise that works for both of you. If that doesn't work, you could try gently nudging him and saying “it's time to get up”. If he still doesn't move, then you can remove any pillows or blankets he is lying on, so that he might wake up from the sensation of falling. Lastly, if all else fails then simply wait until he wakes up naturally on his own.
