Every once in a while, I seem to forget to breathe. When my body notices a lack of O2 or a surfeit of CO2 ( I do not know which, suspect the CO2) I give a gasp. This happens once in a while during the day and maybe once or twice at night. During the day it is not a problem, but at night it wakes me up and I'd like to stop doing this. I am otherwise in good health.
