Constantly Waking Up Partner

So almost every night I (25f) sleep at my boyfriend’s (32m) house, I wake him up. I apparently snore, I’ve tried mouth tape and nose strips. And I hog the bed. And maybe worst of all, I get these terrible night terrors that make me scream at random points throughout the night and not only wake him up, but scare the shit out of him. I’m asleep, so obviously I would have no idea I do any of this if he didn’t tell me this next morning. A lot of the time he leaves the room and sleeps in a family member’s room that often works nights. But sometimes they’re home in their own room, so he’s just forced to just lie awake next to me. I forgot to mention he’s an EXTREMELY light sleeper. So please does anyone have any advice for me? The only part of how I sleep that affects me is my terrible nightmares, because sometimes I do wake up from them too feeling absolutely awful. Fortunately he’s never ever been mad at me about this, but I do feel so bad about it. We want to get married and live together someday, how can we do that if I’m basically torturing him every night?
