    Change your routine, go to bed nice and early, get up at 6:45 every morning and it won't bother you any more.

    Sounds like a post nasal drip. Neighbour needs to go to doctor about infection and possibly loose weight

    Tell the authorities you think he has Ebola and get him quarantined for a few days.

    Set your alarm for 06.50.

    Then stick on a good set of headphones and listen your favourite music to drown out his coughing noise for however long it ususally lasts.

    Then, go back to sleep for an hour or so.

    These two are 100% the best options OP

    Being woke at 7am a problem? Shure, you'll finish college soon and have to get a job and you'll no longer need to worry about being a sleepyhead :P

    Could be someone with cystic fibrosis. I bet they don't love waking up with lungs like that everyday, but they have to clear their airway somehow.

    I've known several people that do this every morning. Fairly gross alright. Here's a couple of expensive an VERY expensive options (hey Christmas is coming up) from Firebox.

    SleepPhones.
    Aura SmartSleep System.

    Now I'm not sure right, but I think it may be possible to have that smart sleep system train your brain into going into deep sleep mode right when the neighbour starts. It's not cheap and it might not work but if you've got some disposable income it could be an option :D

    Get up at 6:45 ahead of your noisy neighbour and switch your radio on really loud. They might realise then how thin the walls are and go to their bathroom to cough/clear their lungs. If they do t take the hint continue to get up earlier and he out of your room when the coughing starts.

    I used to wake up the same way, either coughing (7am) snoring (11pm etc) , and singing (9am weekends). Guy had a bit of a weird schedule but was a lovely old man. In the end I just had to get earplugs, I know you said you've tried them but try the wax ones. The silicone ones never worked for me. Or try a white noise app if you have a smart phone.
