687. It was narrated from Makhramah bin Sulaimân that Kuraib – the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbâs – told him: "I asked Ibn 'Abbâs: 'How did the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ pray at night?' He said: 'He prayed eleven Rak'ahs including Witr, then he slept deeply until I could hear him snoring, then Bilâl came to him and said: "The prayer, O Messenger of Allâh!" Then he got up and prayed two brief Rak'ahs then led the people in prayer, and he did not perform Wudû.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
Allâh's Messenger's ﷺ sleeping did not annul his ablution because his heart was always awake (Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadith 7281). That means he used to be aware of the occurrence of the minor ritual impurity (Hadath). Snoring is an evidence of deep sleep.
