What would you do in this situation?

My sister and her boyfriend of several years feel the need to be around each other literally every waking moment of the day. I personally don't understand it but I figure if they both don't mind it, more power to 'em.

The problem arises in the fact that my sister and I live together and their time spent together involves him practically living at the house. He is a very nice guy, don't get me wrong, but it seems he doesn't understand the concept of "boundaries". He makes a habit of coming into my room when he's bored and wants to chat or use my computer. He is here even when my sister is not, just to wait for her to come back home. I often wake up to him in my room, even laying next to me on my bed on a laptop. He also sleeps over in our dining room.
Of late, I've noticed myself becoming increasingly short tempered with him, and I know it's because he's just about driving me crazy with his omnipresence.

What I'm asking is, considering he is an otherwise great and thoughtful guy, and considering that I don't want to hurt his feelings, how do I regain some semblence of privacy in my own home?
